Exploring Boston: Beacon Hill

  Beacon Hill is one of the first places in Boston that I explored and I must admit the coziest one. It’s full of 19th century buildings, nice little squares and antique shops on Charles street. As my guide (Top 10 Boston) says this area screams “old money”, so my fellow Athenians could compare this are with Kolonaki. Minus the nightlife and the abundance of cafes and restaurants which Beacon Hill (compared to Kolonaki) doesn’t have. Charles street is actually the only street in the area with some serious commercial activity as it’s  full of antique shops, cafes and restaurants…

Exploring Boston: Back Bay

So, the time has come for me to share with you my photos of the different Boston neighborhoods as I explore them one by one! Today’s stop: the Back Bay! This neighborhood is ideal for house stalking! Really! It has so many nice buildings, with beautiful doors and exquisite details. Even if I didn’t know already that it’s expensive to live here I would have guessed it from the look of the buildings! Boston Public Garden or Charles Esplanade are good starting points for a exploration walk. For me the end point is always The Prudential Center, for the practical…

Mixing Neutrals & Burgundy

What better colors to wear on a cold winter day (although it wasn’t the season’s coldest) than winter pastels and a pop of burgundy? The day I wore this outfit we went for lunch at Ergon, a nice restaurant hailing from Thessaloniki to celebrate my name day (back in December). The restaurant easily became a favorite of mine and a review is coming up on the blog next! After lunch we wandered around the neighborhood and shot some of the photos outside Electra Metropolis, a new luxury hotel which opened recently. I haven’t been inside yet, but I loved those…

A walk in Athens: Saturday in the City

When the weather is nice I’m all about Saturday walks in the city! It’s really pleasant to explore Athens during springtime (or fall) and that’s what I like to do! This past weekend the weather was cloudy, rainy and all over moody, but I do have a nice walk to share with you from the previous month! But first brunch! After experiencing the joy having brunch in Montreal and Boston, it was time to check out what Athens has to offer too! New York Sandwiches has been a fixture lately. I love their Eggs Benedict as well as their pancakes, although…

The Essential Guide to New York City: Shopping, Dining &Exploring

Welcome to the second installment of my essential New York City Guide. In this part I’m going over suggestions on where to eat (all tried and tested), shop and hang out in the city! So let’s hit it off! Dining in New York City Restaurant Row at W46th street This street was an “insider” tip from a tour guide on a double-decker bus, which I cherish very much, since it’s a place full of noteworthy (and somewhat) budget friendly restaurants near Times Square. There are many restaurants you can try from, and the last few times I visited NYC I…

The Ideal Travel Outfit

It’s been a while since I traveled by airplane. My last trip was back in October when I visited Thessaloniki, but I have to say that 2015 was the year I traveled the most, clocking more than 20 hours of air travel! I mean wow! You see I had to take advantage of living in the US to explore the country and visit as many states as possible! 2015 was also the year I mastered to pack a hand luggage with all my essentials and draft out the ideal traveling outfit which is both stylish and practical. (ok more practical…

Foodie guide to Thessaloniki

Last month, I spent 4 days in Thessaloniki, which is the second largest city in Greece. Located on Thermaikos gulf, Thessaloniki is a city open to the sea, well-known for its relaxed culture, seaside promenade and delicious food.

B. (at the Byzantine museum) The Byzantine museum of Thessaloniki is probably the No.1 Museum…
