Athens

Cinema Riviera

There's also a Saturday market up there worth going to. Not a performative farmers market with nine dollar heirloom tomatoes — it's where real people go shopping. Good produce, good prices, a genuine feel for neighbourhood life in Athens that you don't get on Ermou Street. Sitting outside, having a drink, watching a film under the sky. There are worse ways to spend a night in Athens.

Athens

Astypalea (Greek Island)

Astypalea is a butterfly-shaped Dodecanese island where almost nobody goes. Far from the usual circuit. Direct flights from Athens. Stay in or near the Chora.
