With my friends, in Kerameikos quare.

wall-art

Pireos street. Gazi.

Holy Strength

A little Church dedicated to "Holy Strength"
standing under a tall building
(former Ministry of Education).

Not so nice but very strange scene!

History: it was build on 16th century and
is said to protect pregnant women.
Because of the archaeological value
they had to build the building
over the church.

pink

Saturday morning coffee
in Cerameikos square.

autumn rain

As seen from Petroupoli,
On the right an old furnace,
not used any more but nice to see.
On the left Petroupoleos str,
straight, long, green on both sides.

Acropolis...

... as seen from the entrance of Panathenaic Stadium.

umbrellas

It was raining heavily today.
Here you can see a lot of umbrella-sellers
at the exit of Synagma metro station.

These are very cheap umbrellas,
of the worst quality
(they get destroyed on the spot while wind blows)
but they have very live and happy colors!

bird watching!

This is not an artistic photo, but
I wanted to take a shot of the pigeons
sitting on the kiosk's roof.
This morning,
just outside the entrance of metro station,
a few minutes before getting in my work.

old, still beautiful

A beautiful old house,
falling apart...

οπωρο-παντο-πωλείον!

Οπωροπαντοπωλείον
means fruit and grocery seller, and
το παραδοσιακόν
means "the traditional".

Such little shops do still exist in neighbourhoods.
This place is called Mets and
is in a walking-distance from Syntagma...

Come, nice plants!

A "moving" plant-seller!
He drives through neighbourhoods and
calls women by a loudspeaker
to come and buy plants
for their gardens and balconies!

the coffee shop

In the Monetary Museum garden.

the sun

In the Monetary Museum garden.

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!

green

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

through flowers

Walking through this pavement every morning,
the way from the parking to the metro station,
is one of the best moments of my day.

Ypsountos street

Here is where I park my car every morning
in order to get in the metro.

It is not so peaceful and parking-available
in the winter, but still,
I like walking through, it is a nice street
that always makes my day!
