Varvakios Market
The world-famous Varvakios Market, also known as Varvakios Central Municipal Market is the largest food market in Athens and Greece, and this noisy, bustling and smelly marketplace is not for the fainthearted. But it's a must-visit on any Athens travel guide. So, go look for your best toga, tie up your sandals, and let's Go Explore Greece

Carnivals in Athens: Locals Go Wild
On the 17th and 18th of this month, I found myself in the midst of the Απόκριες Carnival Celebration in Athens - where history meets hilarity, and the streets are alive with more than just the echoes of the ancients.
Check out my latest YouTube video to see me capturing this day-and-night event that happens every year.
Spoiler alert: may contain scenes of extreme dancing and questionable costume choices.

Athens Walking Tour: Evening Walk Monastiraki, Ermou Street, Syntagma
Join me on an evening walk around Athens. Begining in my favourite neighbourhood Thissio, into Monastiraki Square, along Ermou Street and then finishing at Syntagma Square.
It's full of travel tips, and I'll show, point out, and explain many things, such as the best bars, cafes, and restaurants, including the two best places to eat Souvlaki. The best Ancient Sites to visit. How about a 950-year-old shopping mall you can still walk around today, and a 1000-year-old church slap bang in the middle of the busiest shopping street in Athens, and lots more.
So, go look for your best toga, tie up your sandals and let's Go Explore Greece.

Enjoy this cosy Christmas ambience in a beautiful Greek-inspired Christmas cabin.
Including a warming Christmas fireplace and snow falling on the Acropolis in Athens in the distance through the window.
The room is full of Christmas decorations, twinkling lights and candles, and gentle Christmas songs, including relaxing jazz music to help you relax and sleep.
I hope you enjoy my video and would really appreciate it if you could share it and subscribe to my YouTube channel for the latest videos.

So, Kalo Mina (Καλό μήνα) – it literally means "Good Month" in Greek. It's a delightful way the Greeks wish each other well at the start of every month. It's as if they're sprinkling a bit of good-luck fairy dust for the month ahead.
It's not just a casual greeting, mind you. There's a hearty warmth to it, like a cosy blanket on a nippy British evening. The idea is to spread positivity and hope – something we could all do with a bit more of, right? It's like saying, "Here's to a cracking month ahead!" but with that enchanting Mediterranean zest.
I find it quite a refreshing change from the usual "Hi, how are you?" drill. It's a bit like how we Brits obsess over the weather, but instead of grumbling about the rain, Greeks are busy sending good vibes for the month. It's wonderfully optimistic, don't you think?
So, here's me saying "Kalo Mina" to you. May your month be as splendid as a perfectly brewed cup of Greek coffee.
