DIONYSOS ZONAR'S 43, Rovertou Galli St. 11742 Athens, Greece This is the closest restaurant from the starting point of the climb uphill towards the Dora Stratou Dance Theater (where we were heading to next). It is actually near the Main Gate of the Acropolis. You will have a great view of the Acropolis - the Parthenon and all - while enjoying your food.

Just a video of the trail from the southeast gate (side gate) up to the acropolis and exiting through the main gate (entrance). The major points of interest along the way. Erratum: Clip labeled as "Temple of Athena Nike" should have been "The Old Temple of Athena". The former is right next to the Propylaia. The latter is on the Erechtheion.

This little museum is very close to Athens Flea Market. If you have kids and they get tired walking around the busy streets of Monastiraki Square or Plaka area, a visit to this place would be a good idea. Follow us on our Youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-TF1J18w4xVhdUrd-604KQ

It was in December of 2018 when the National Library of Greece moved to its new location in The Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center in the bay of Faliro from its Vallianeio historic neoclassical building in downtown Athens. This is a very modern complex where the Greek National Opera is also located. The new library now has a Public Section on the ground floor where the non-members can enjoy for free. It also has a very welcoming Children's Area. Photography/videos strictly not allowed in most areas. Follow us on our Youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-TF1J18w4xVhdUrd-604KQ

Just showing our experience taking the Athens Metro via the Green Line which is the oldest among the 3 lines. Our route was Victoria to Monastiraki station and vice versa. One part was taken during daytime. The other part taken late at night. Follow us on our Youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-TF1J18w4xVhdUrd-604KQ

This is just a video we took as we strolled along IFESTOU Street. For those who are curious what it's like to walk around the area...... **************************** festou is signed as the 'Athens flea market', but the street mostly has souvenir shops. The true flea feel is on Plateia Avyssinias and in nearby small streets, where dusty palaiopoleia ('old-stuff sellers') rule. For the best rummaging, come Sunday mornings, when the bric-a-brac explodes out onto the pavements, including on Astingos and even across Ermou in Psyrri.

"The Acropolis Museum is an archaeological museum focused on the findings of the archaeological site of the Acropolis of Athens. The museum was built to house every artifact found on the rock and on the surrounding slopes, from the Greek Bronze Age to Roman and Byzantine Greece." There are sections or exhibits that photo/video taking is not permitted. I just managed to snap a few pics and 1 short video in some areas. Can't explain why. Perhaps because I was too engrossed to bother. But, anyway, just to give you a peek of what's inside. Follow us on our Youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-TF1J18w4xVhdUrd-604KQ

"The National Archaeological Museum in Athens houses some of the most important artifacts from a variety of archaeological locations around Greece from prehistory to late antiquity. It is considered one of the greatest museums in the world and contains the richest collection of artifacts from Greek antiquity worldwide." This video will just give you a glimpse of the collections/displays inside. I will not attempt to contain in a 7-min video all the wealth of knowledge you can gain from a visit to this place. That would not be doing it any justice. Instead, I suggest you check their website and read the description for each collection or exhibit if you are really interested. Rest assured, you will learn a lot. And if you are planning to visit this museum anytime soon, there's an option to print out the descriptions. This will help you understand and appreciate the exhibit much better.

Bazaar Supermarket is a small-size supermarket chain and there is one branch just a block away from our rented apartment. The proximity is so convenient for us to do a quick grocery shopping every other day or so. We didn't look for bigger supermarkets so can't compare prices.
