Dexameni square is located on Lycabettus hill in Kolonaki area. I like wandering around the narrow streets and wondering at the beautiful houses with the flowers and the balconies. After a nice walk you need a coffee, a beer or a snack and this you can have it at Dexameni Cafe restaurant. I recommend this walk for spring and autumn ;)

Megaro Mousikis Athinon or Athens Concert Hall is a concert hall located in Athens, on Vasilissis Sofias Avenue. It has given its name to the whole surrounding region where my appartment is also located. The megaron was the great hall of the Grecian palace complexes in the ancient times.

Located in the Kallithea district in the south of Athens, the huge Stavros Niarchos Cultural Centre creates new homes for the National Library of Greece and the Greek National Opera, tucked beneath a new 170,000-square-meter sloping park and beside a 400-meter-long rectangular lake. It is designed by the Italian architect Piano Renzo and believe me it is really impressive!
