A guide for all tourists that really want to make the most of their time in one of the oldest cities in the world
So recently I realized that after my number one passion, which is journalism, a close second in my “favorite things to do”-list is traveling and visiting cities all around the world. I’ve been to quite a few of them actually.

Which is why I’ve decided to create this new mini-series of articles.
I’ll start off strong with one of the most tourist-heavy places in the world and the city I spent most of my life in, Athens. So you know that you can trust what you read in the list below.

Head down to the Glyfada area, or go even further towards Voula, Vouliagmeni and Varkiza to discover what Athens really has to…
