Athens, Greece – Discovering Exarcheia

Discovering Food

I found a cafe on the corner from my Airbnb apartment that will be my breakfast hangout. The cappuccino was delicious!


Another discovery is a pastry shop up the road.

I bought ham and cheese quiches and a traditional dessert pastry I had to try right away.

I don’t remember the name of the pastry, yet…but will report back because I will for sure be buying this again.  

Here is a moment by moment play back of eating this delectable pastry:

  • soft and melty at the same time with a syrup that flowed, just a bit…
  • with a flaky crunch
  • sweet but not too much
  • one of the best pastries I’ve ever tasted (even over Paris pastry!)

There are lots of little curious shops in this neighbourhood.

I discovered a drama school whose students, 8:00pm each night this week, are performing their end-of-year exam for free.

I’ve been awake for almost 24 hours, I think that will be tomorrow evening’s adventure.

That’s it for now.

I’m an exhausted, happy traveler.
