I love the second-hand bits n bobs and 

antiques stores at the part of Ermou that stops in Thisseio (Ag. Asomaton Sq), just before curving away towards Gazi. 

They are like a wonderland of trinkets and suggest a million stories about the city.

Walk from Omonia to Lykabbetus

It was twilight, I'd just had a delicious carrot and orange juice at the Oikologous organic restaurant on Panepistimiou St and I decided to walk home to Lykabettus through Exarcheia instead of taking the usual cab. I was in a sense of wonderment as I strolled, often for the first time through streets that offered beautiful sunset vistas of the city from above. I also enjoyed looking at balconies pouring over with flowers and coloured buildings I never knew were there.
