Athens | Greece

I stayed in Santorini for 2 days and then flew to Athens for another 2 days.

The airport in Santorini was the smallest I have ever visited - from checked in to security check to boarding gate, just less than 10 mins! 

Bye Santorini! I will definitely miss you and come back again in the future! ❤️

This was the first lunch I had in Athens - four cheese penne and chicken & mushroom spaghetti - they were lovely! 

Sightseeing

Remembered the earrings? I was wearing them on one side to give a little touch of edgy ;)
( Please check out my previous post for how to make them )

Happy Train - sightseeing tour around Acropolis :)

Temporary Tatoo - guess what print I chose haha ;)

At night, I went to spa at Athens Fish Spa. I chose the 50 mins Aroma Oil Massage, it was incredibly relaxing and soothed my body so much! The staff were friendly and they spoke excellent English. The service was fabulous and the environment was so relaxing! It's like bringing you to a haven of peace from a bustling city - a true holiday escape! The price was reasonable and there was young person discount - age under 25 can get a discount of 20% off. I would definitely give them thousands of likes and a big thumbs up - just love it so much!

Night view 

One of the most famous flea markets in Athens - Monastiraki Flea Market. There was a lot to discover and things you would love! 

Dinner - ordered a small platter and some fried cheese balls. The small platter was huge - pita breads, Greek traditional sausages, chicken and pork Souvlaki, some vegetables and chips - definitely more than enough for 2 people! They were delicious, I particularly liked the Greek sausages and its dipping sauce. The cheese balls were good, they were tangy and not rubbery but I would prefer some melting cheese balls. 

Last day in Athens

 Koulouri with tomato and salami for breakfast - love it! (Greeks love to use tomato as ingredients, I found tomatoes in almost every dishes!)

I love the Greek Frappe!!

Melissinos Art -The Poet Sandal Maker, the most famous sandal maker in Athens, offering excellent custom- made sandals for all age men and women. The staff were really sweet and friendly, they altered the sandals for you again and again until they fit perfectly to your feet. People might think the staff were rude but I think it's just because they don't speak good English. Although the choice of style was limited, you would definitely find one that you love.  They were genuine leather, comfortable, simple yet stylish. The price was fair, range from baby size €18-€33 to adult size €33- €38. 

The strawberry lemonade was amazing! The sweetness and the sourness was just perfectly right! It's refreshing and so good for summer! The staff were super nice and the waffles were super delicious! 

Last meal in Greece. I'm gonna miss the place and the food so much!

Apivita and Korres are the popular natural cosmetics and skin care in Greece. They are popular and you can find them in almost every pharmacy in Greece. I had bought some masks from Apivita and a cleansing foam and a lip butter from Korres. I had used one of the masks from Apivita, the intensive hydration mask with cucumber, it was so refreshing the moment I applied on my face. The consistency was thin but with a strong fresh cucumber scent and instantly gave you a cooling effect. However, it was not as good as I expected for an intensive hydration. It gave you a basic moisture but not an intensive one and my skin didn't feel instantly soften or radiant. Nonetheless, I will keep trying out other products of the brand ( may be I can find one that works on me) as I like the idea - Natural! 

I hope you will like my sharing!

Much love ❤️
