🇬🇷✨ Big news for Athens! ✨🇬🇷

Monocle magazine has just named 𝐀𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝟑𝐫𝐝 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲 in the world in its Quality of Life Survey 2025 – and crowned it Best for Nightlife. 🥂🌙

More than 15 years after the debt crisis, our city has reinvented itself: transforming abandoned spaces and post-industrial corners into buzzing hubs of creativity, music, and wine bars that spill into the streets until dawn. From the lively vibes of Neos Kosmos to the reinvented alleys of Exarchia and Metaxourgeio, Athens is now one of Europe’s true 24-hour cities.

In 2024 alone, almost 8 million visitors came not only for the Acropolis but also for the energy, culture, and soul that makes Athens unlike anywhere else. Affordable, vibrant, and endlessly surprising, our city is showing the world that adversity can spark a cultural renaissance.

Or, as one local said: “It’s like the whole city becomes one big open-air gathering.” 💙

🌊⚓ Discover Greece’s Maritime Legacy in Mykonos ⚓🌊

Tucked away in the historic heart of Mykonos, the Aegean Maritime Museum preserves centuries of naval history, from ancient artifacts and ship models to rare maps, nautical instruments, and even entire ships like the Evangelistria (1940) and the legendary cable-laying vessel Thales of Miletus (1909). 🚢⛵

One of its most iconic treasures? The restored Armenistis Lighthouse (1890), once a beacon of safety across the Aegean, now shining proudly in the museum’s gardens. 🗼

📍 Don’t just visit Mykonos for the beaches—explore its seafaring soul through this must-see museum!
