📚🖼️🗺️🪗What a better way to say goodbye to the summer than by having a stroll at the flea markets in the center of #Athens, and take 'a piece of memory' of the city and a 'taste' of its past.

If you take a stroll at flea markets, it is not just the items and the products per se that are old. Flea markets and antiquarian shops are some of the last and few places where the past has been preserved and it is open for anyone to take a “sip”. Flea markets shall be seen as accessible museums to human senses; you can see the objects, touch them, try to connect yourself with them and wonder about their value in your everyday life. Each of us is not just a potential buyer, but rather a successor of a story– of an object that once used to have value in someone’s life, helping them in their daily tasks, or simply making their space more pleasant.

🇬🇷✨ 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.” 💙
