Amazing rooftop bar with view onto the Acropolis: Bar 8 @ Hotel Grand Bretagne (14. September 2017)
The Hotel Grand Bretagne is apparently the best hotel in Athens and while I haven’t had the chance to spend a night there, I had the possibility to visit the Bar 8 (roof top terrace) of the hotel. And the view you have from here, directly onto the Acropolis is not only beautiful but quite […]
Great traditional Greek food – but you have to be patient: Palia Taverna tou Psarra (14. September 2017)
The Palia Taverna tou Psarra is located in a rather touristic area of Athens but still worth visiting. If you know you’re going here, call before and book a table on the roof top terrace. The view must be even more amazing and right onto the Acropolis. However, as we had not reserved beforehand, we […]
High-end dining in central Athens: Aleria Restaurant (18. July 2016)

The waitress was incredibly friendly and the selection was much more promising than I had expected. There were a couple of cold […]
Greek restaurant family-run by Maria: Restaurant Karamanlidika (15. July 2016)
The Karamanlidika has been recommended to me by the Fresh Hotel I had spent the night at and it was a great recommendation. It is within walking distance and honestly speaking you would never go there unless you know where exactly the restaurant is located as the area is a bit sketchy. However, once you […]
15. October 2011: Restaurant Strofi
As a welcome from the kitchen we were served a Greek specialty: Absolutely dry bread which you have to put into water first to make it eatable, on which you put some tomato sauce, and feta cheese. The combination is quite nice – nothing outstanding but definitely nice. As a starter I had “stuffed wine […]
