The building complex in Kerameikos
(Agion Asomaton str, 5th floor!)

Benaki Street Cafe

Taken from the inside of a coffee shop in Emmanouil Benaki street.
This place is very near to Omonoia Place-a very crowded place almost 24hours
but it is surprisingly quiet and peaceful.

like a film

Α coffee-shop decorated with old greek
black and white films,
in Ippokratous str.

I had a hot chocolate with a friend, today
in "flocafe" besides my house.
Everything is Cristmas-decorated
and that makes me calm and happy!

November starting

Athen's trees decorated for Christmas.
But you can still have an evening coffee outdoors,
by the gas-stoves!
This is Evangelistrias pedestrian-street,
besides the Metropolis square.

Saturday morning coffee
in Cerameikos square.

under pine trees

There is a coffee shop named "terra petra" in Petroupoli,
peaceful and cool in summer mornings,
where you can have a nice view of the city
from above.

by the sea

Elefsina is a city just 20 minutes from Athens.

The sea is not clear enough to swim,
but perfect for an early Sunday morning coffee
besides the waves!

A coffee shop named Prasino=Green (!)
in Peristeri.

summer in the city

The city is almost empty in August
everybody is on vacation, near the sea.

Monetary Museum Garden

The Monetary Museum is in Panepistimiou str a few metres form Syntagma metro station.
A beautiful old building designed by architect Ernst Ziller, that used to be Heinrich Schliemann'shome, named Iliou Melathron (=palace of Ilion).

This is the view while entering the garden

and this is the way Panepistimiou str
is (not!) seen from the garden.

There is a cute, quiet coffee shop in the garden behind the building, where you can have some time of peace and rest, away from the noise and the sun!

a bookshop

This is the ground floor of the Eleftheroudakis bookshop,
near the Syntagma metro station,
in the heart of the city.

Eight floors of books (!) and
a quiet coffee corner on the sixth floor.
Heaven!

green in the city

Photo taken from a coffee shop in Panormou street.
Housed in a still-not-become-building piece of land,
in one of the most full of traffic streets,
in the center of the city.

Such a joy to discover pictures from our childhood
in today!
