The best cafe in the world is in Athens!



The "mind the cup" at Peristeri now boasts that it is the list of Buzzfeed with "25 coffee shops to see before you die." The list includes cafes from New York, to Australia that have managed to stand out due to the aromatic coffee, the design and drawings on mugs with latte.

And the number one cafe is

Mind the cup, at Peristeri (Athens).

It's a warm and welcoming place, which urges you to explore it. A shop that could have been taken out from a film. The designs you will see in your cup with milk will impress.

Summer in Athens. Beach, Coffee, Food, Pool!

Today the weather was wonderful and as summer is already here we felt like seeing the sea. There was no traffic and we reached the sea in just 20 minutes by car.

First we had coffee by the sea. Some people were in the sunbeds and were swimming.


When the children got bored they played at the indian tent.


Then we had a juice at the garden.

                           
The pool was fantastic in the end. Especially the sunset was awesome.

The way back was also good. No traffic, in 20-25 minutes we were back
