Mitropoli

Mitropoleos Square is one of the most charming squares in the historic center of Athens, located just a few minutes' walk from Syntagma Square and the Plaka district. The square is dominated by the impressive Metropolitan Cathedral of Athens (also known as the Cathedral of the Annunciation), the largest church in Athens and the seat of the Archbishop of Greece. Right next to the cathedral stands the much smaller but equally fascinating Little Metropolis (Church of Agios Eleftherios), a 12th-century Byzantine church renowned for its intricate stone carvings and architectural details. The contrast between the grandeur of the Metropolitan Cathedral and the intimate scale of the Little Metropolis beautifully illustrates the layers of Athenian history, from the Byzantine era to modern Greece. Today, Mitropoleos Square is a lively meeting point surrounded by cafés, shops, and pedestrian streets, making it an ideal place to pause while exploring central Athens.

Platia Agias Irinis

This beautiful and vibrant square used to be the home of the city’s flower market. Only a couple flower vendors remain, as the rest have been replaced by café bars & eateries, becoming one of the hottest spots in town. Easy to reach no matter where you’re coming from, self-contained and peaceful, with no bothersome thru-traffic, the thriving square is teeming with life most hours of the day.We will enjoy a special delicacy from Crete, a pie like no other. It's called Sfakiani and is thin like crepe with soft cheese inside and honey on top!Sample Menu: Rakomelo: This famous alcoholic mixed drink is made by combining Raki (a grape flavoured brandy), with honey and warm spices like cardamom, cinnamon and local herbs.
