s it safe for a woman to travel solo around the world? Absolutely, yes! There is nothing to fear. The world is safe. The world is friendly. Most people are helpful, kind, and hospitable. Don’t I need to plan everything way ahead? Absolutely not! Everything you will ever need in your travels will be catered to by the people around you and by the world itself. The world is providing. That it is my philosophy of travel, which is a product from 40 years of travelling. “A Philosophy of Travelâ€? may sound strange. After all, what does philosophy have to do with travel? The simple answer is: everything! True philosophy has always been connected to human action. It relates to how we ought to think before Adriani's sunglasses: we make decisions about matters big and small in DIOR, eyewear boutique our everyday life. Similarly, a philosophy of travel Panaidis (panaidis.gr) concerns itself with how we ought to view travel, ꣚裌⚞꣚㧚㣖꣉ Ꞥ how to develop the most appropriate and beneficial %*03 F Z F X F B S CPVUJRVF 1BOBJEJT mind-set when exploring other cultures and the QBOBJEJT HS
world in general, and most importantly, how to act. So where should such a philosophy start? Well, it should begin with “why we travel in the first place�. We travel to leave our comfort zones – the familiar and cherished. We travel in order to move towards the unknown and unimaginable, to expand and widen our knowledge, to open up to new ways of seeing. We travel to conquer our fears, insecurities and prejudices. But we also travel to allow our imagination to face the sun after a long sleep. We want our soul to become free and unbound once again – alive, powerful, open to surprise. And why and how does Travel help us achieve these things? As it turns out, travel is the Ultimate University. It offers the most condensed, wide-ranging, and deepest ‘courses’ in all fields of life. This is so because travel is the only university that brings together theory and practice, and harmonises knowledge with life. Travel is also alive! Knowledge is obtained by and through immersion in the true living world. It also happens to be an open university: anyone is eligible to enter without applications, exams, or fees. The only thing preventing an individual from reaping the benefits is the decision not to enrol. “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step�, said the Chinese sage Lao Tzu, thousands of years ago. One need only take the first step. Then the journey will unfold effortlessly by its own inherent power. True travel is exploration infused by a deep desire to better understand the world and yourself. And as you travel more, you come to realize that you are actually on two journeys: one outer, one inner. The latter is none other than the transformative action of travel on your inner being.

JUST LIKE A SMALL MIRACLE EMERGING FROM THE OCEAN’S DEPTHS, THE MIRACULOUS SOOTHING SERUM THE CONCENTRATE BY LA MER, IS THE QUINTESSENCE OF COSMETIC CARE. 㥶ず嵳峕幀㢅ⴀ梡涸㣼鶻♧呋嵳峕⛓靡 牟㣼崽綫⥜㢖礶⼷ꪫ僽繡㺂䫢肌涸礶널
MIRACLE IN A BOTTLE
EVER SINCE ASTROPHYSICIST DR. MAX HUBER was inspired by the self-regenerating properties of giant seaweed and created the Miracle Broth, the world of beauty has acquired a miraculous filter. Thanks to the Miracle Broth and the creation of the moisturising Crème de La Mer, Dr. Max Huber managed years ago to rock the waters of cosmetology. Today, the brand in a constant search for advanced formulas, takes these miraculous properties one step further. The result? A product which is the essential awakening of beauty; luxurious, beneficial and miraculous. A serum which raises daily skin care to another level: the luxurious elixir The Concentrate. Using a unique process developed under cold conditions in a vacuum, La Mer transformed the cell-renewing product Miracle Broth™ into the Concentrated Miracle Broth™ especially for the needs of The Concentrate product, which provides the miraculous healing powers of the sea. It is a precious elixir that utilises the self-regenerating powers of seaweed, creates ideal conditions for skin restoration, while having the ability to soothe redness, irritation and other signs of visible inflammation. Acting as a “shield in liquid form”, it protects sensitive skin and highlights its healthy-looking appearance.

ong before the modern Greek state had been established, travellers from the north would note in their travel journals impressions of their journeys through the land of Greece. Scientists, NORDIC LIBRARY adventurers, young noblemen who would âť?ĺŚ?ă•ƒâ›źęť§ take the “grand tourâ€?, officers and journalists who visited Greece in times of war or peace and kept accounts, either in writing, or as artwork, of the ancient monuments, plants and herbs of the Greek flora, the traditions and customs. The exhibition “Nordic narrative: Greece through the eyes of the travellers from the Northâ€? at the Nordic Library reveals a fascinating picture of Greece over the last three centuries.

“Broken History�
eorge Seferis’s poem “Thrush� was the inspiration for painter and professor of Byzantine Traditional Painting of the Athens School of Fine Arts, Pavlos Samios, to present the exhibition “Broken History�. Using cheap materials –cardboard boxes, industrial paper–, he painted 66 “fragmented� iconic Greek art works, from prehistory to post-Byzantine times, and then added graffiti, thus thrusting the ancient symbols forcefully into contemporary reality.

he Deputy Artistic Director of the National Theatre of Greece, Thodoris Abazis, comes to grips with Victor Hugo’s ultimate political novel “The man who laughs�, incorporating elements from the theatre of prose and contemporary musical theatre in his stage narrative. “The man who laughs� was published in 1869, just two years before the Paris Commune revolt. Emerging behind the stormy romance of a merry clown with a young blind girl, are issues such as social inequality, the corruption of power, the crushing of the individual and the glorification of the system.

NEW RESIDENTS ON THE HOLY CYCLADIC ISLAND
LARS GUNDERSEN
ŕŞˆŐšâ€ŤËźŰ¤Ú¤â€Źŕ§ĄË§ŕŠ”Ëąŕł™ŮŽŕĄ‚ IN THE WINTER OF 426 BC, the Athenians decided to “purifyâ€? the island of Delos. Giving birth, or burying the dead was strictly forbidden on the island. Those expecting to give birth and the seriously ill were carried over to Rineia and the evacuation of the entire population was gradually achieved. Thousands of years later, prominent British sculptor Antony Gormley attempts to “restoreâ€? with his work the presence of humans on the holy island. The installation “Sightâ€? by the NEON Cultural Organisation in collaboration with the Ephorate of Antiquities of Cyclades, presents 29 anthropomorphic sculptures that will “resettleâ€? the island. Gormley’s life-size sculpted body forms will be placed in various locations, from the rocky shores seen by visitors arriving at the small Cycladic island, to the interior of the Archaeological Museum.

rying girls, smoking barrels, bubble gums and hot dogs: Roy Lichtenstein commented on the clichĂŠs of American pop culture, denoting the direction American society had taken after the war, while at the same time, giving a timeless value to the ephemeral. “The things that I have apparently parodied, I actually admireâ€?, he stated. The exhibition “Roy Lichtenstein. Multiple visionsâ€? in Mudec, presents more than 80 works -prints, sculptures and tapestries- displaying a panorama of the themes, as well as the artistic journeys this heretic artist went through from the 1950s up to the end of the Cold War.

“MADAMA BUTTERFLYâ€? iӞ̨ϛ৲j
W
ith evocative music and libretto highlighting the contrast in thought and way of life between East and West, Madame Buttery remains one of the most popular works of the operatic repertoire. Director Robert Wilson’s signature direction, set and lighting for the Dutch National Opera production, focuses on the tragic narrative, without giving in to stage clichÊs. With a minimal aesthetic and choreographed movements reminiscent of Japanese Nôh theatre, unfolding on stage is the heartbreaking love of Cio-Cio-San for the American navy officer, F.B. Pinkerton.

“THE MOST interesting painting is one that expresses more of what one thinks than of what one seesâ€?, affirmed Mark Rothko. The great American painter sought for a solution within his subconscious in order to free himself from the restrictive nature of representational art. This exhibition bearing his name, is hosted at the Kunsthistorisches Museum and follows his artistic evolution from his early figurative works of the 1930s, highlighting the influence which Rembrandt had on him, but also his contemporaries, such as de Chirico and Giacometti, culminating with his abstract colour compositions that made him famous.

Casa Azul, the home she shared with her husband Diego Rivera in Mexico.

The exhibition “Frida Kahlo: Appearances can be deceivingâ€?, with more than 100 objects, proves how the dress style of this uncompromising artist was carefully crafted and contributed to a large extent in shaping her artistic identity.

ore than 400,000 people were involved in order for the first astronauts to leave their footprints on the moon in July 1969. The Moon has been associated with every aspect of human activity, and has always excited the collective imagination. From primitive societies to the present day, scientists and artists have persistently struggled to “decipher� its secrets with any means. The exhibition “The Moon, from real trip to imaginary trips�, begins from the first moon landing of the Apollo 11 and highlights the impact the earth’s natural satellite had on literature, visual arts and science.

eing prompted by AndrĂŠ Breton and other Surrealists, Joan MirĂł painted the “Birth of the Worldâ€? in the summer of 1925.

INSIDE MUNCH’S MIND
“FOR AS LONG as I can remember, I have suered from a deep feeling of anxiety which I have tried to express in my artâ€?, stated Edvard Munch. The work of Norwegian expressionist Edvard Munch, the artist who without hesitation depicted his troubled emotional world, unfolds in an exhibition bearing his name at the ŕžˆŘ•ŕ šâ€Ťŕ˘‰ËąÚ¤â€Źŕł› Tretyakov Gallery. More than 70 paintings and 30 graphic works - among them a version of his famous piece “The Screamâ€?-, along with photographs and personal artefacts will introduce the visitor to his way of thinking. The main concept behind the organising of this exhibition regards the impact Fyodor Dostoevsky’s work had on the artist.

CUBISM SHOOK THE WAY people saw the world, pondered David Hockney, pointing out that this Paris-born movement of the early 20th ÜˇŕŽ„ŕ˝‚ŕś¸ËąŕŞŁŘ„ century questioned the contrived view that had been established for at least 500 years. The exhibition “The Cubist Cosmos. From Picasso to LĂŠgerâ€? at the Kunstmuseum Basel, traces the evolution of this groundbreaking movement from 1908 to the end of the First World War, surveying its enormous stylistic range and the impact it had on shaping other aesthetic tendencies. Following a chronological order, the exhibition begins with the inuences and stimuli which led the two pioneers and co-founders of Cubism -Braque and Picasso- to adopt a new language and presents famous works by artists such as Juan Gris, Fernand LĂŠger, Robert and Sonia Delaunay, who incorporated the “rulesâ€? of cubism into their artistic vocabulary.

arrie Kosky stunned British audiences last September by presenting a dierent version of Bizet’s opera “Carmenâ€? at the Royal Opera House in London, and he is expected to do the same this year as the performance returns to the British capital. During the show, a voice-over provides information about the past of the two main heroes, Carmen and Don JosĂŠ, and there are also musical parts written by the French composer for this speciďŹ c opera that were never presented at the performance’s premiere in 1875.

3. he Homeric epics, the foundational texts of both the ancient Greek and the European civilisations, have been an inexhaustible source of inspiration for the arts, from ancient Greek angiography, up to Renaissance painting. The exhibition “Homerâ€? at the MusĂŠe du Louvre-Lens brings together more than 250 works and sets out to explore the riches of the Homeric world through an impressive journey. The multilayered narrative of the works of Homer is captured in a selection of ancient statues and objects, as well as paintings by Rubens, Gustave Moreau, AndrĂŠ Derain, Marc Chagall and Cy Twombly.

DESIGN makes people smile GET ACQUAINTED WITH THE LIFE AND WORK OF THE AWARD-WINNING GREEK DESIGNER ARISTOTELIS BARAKOS THROUGH HIS OWN WORDS.
I
was born in Munich, Germany, where I spent my childhood in my parents’ couture workshop. In the 90s we moved with my family to Greece, a country that we always loved and would visit every year for our summer holidays. I started studying at the Physics Department of the University of Athens, while at the same time I was working as a craftsman in a workshop making custom-made structures for cinema and advertising. The experience of being and working in a place full of creative designers, artists and craftsmen made me realise my love for creating and solving intricate structural issues. So I decided to change direction and began a course in industrial design. Since then I have worked on a wide variety of projects, ranging from decorative objects, tools to designing high-tech products, giving me the opportunity to work in Shenzhen, China for six months. That was an unforgettable experience, as I was able to witness from up close the economic and technological miracle currently taking place at that part of the world, as well as getting to know such a fascinating culture. 44 / ELEGA NT TR AV EL GR EECE

DESIGN IS EVERYWHERE Design in modern times is not just about aesthetics. It has a broad range of applications from product design, services to corporate strategic development. In today’s complicated world, designers are creative people who tend to work within wider groups from the perspective of aesthetics and usability, having as their end goal the human-user. For me, design is a way of expressing my passion for creativity and a way of working while drawing pleasure through what I do. The everyday challenges posed by the very different products I am called to design, the interaction with different people and travels I make for my work, are what keep me interested and give me the impetus to continue.

WHERE LIFE meets art
GALLERIST REBECCA CAMHI “ILLUMINATES� THE BEST SPOTS IN AN EXTRAORDINARY NEIGHBOURHOOD OF THE ATHENIAN CENTRE. –by kiki vassalou– –photos: stathis mamalakis–
I
t’s been over ten years since Rebecca Camhi, owner of the homonymous art gallery and devout fan of the city centre has settled in Kerameikos, the small neighbourhood in the district of Omonia, nestled between Metaxourgeio and Gazi. A neighbourhood that embraces multiculturalism, having a handful of streets that seem to “mature� for the needs of tourism and gentrification, and the residents –both old and new– who exchange their warm-hearted “good mornings� every Tuesday at the public market; people of the arts, working folk, actors, dancers, ceramists and artists, mingling with cooks, owners of cafes and convenience stores and junk dealers. During the past decades, Kerameikos suffered the same fate as several other neighbourhoods in the centre that were abandoned by most residents for the affluent suburbs, and as a result, the area found itself being neglected for some years. Still, its characteristic qualities –being a beautiful historical neighbourhood just a breath away from Thissio and Omonia (a look at the map is rather informative)–, didn’t allow for Kerameikos to fade into oblivion. And just like that, today we find ourselves at Rebecca’s friendly gallery on Leonidou Street 9 (www.rebeccacamhi.com), which is also an ideal staring point for anyone wanting to become acquainted with Kerameikos. We combine a stroll with a chat about international and domestic art, as she herself, being a traditional Greek hostess, is happy

– K E R A M E I KO S – to provide personal tours at her gallery and bespoke advising, especially when it comes to art lovers and collectors. We also head outside with her. It is a sunny spring morning and Rebecca takes us nearby to the square of Avdi, for a beverage at the all-day cafe-bar Ble Papagalos (fb: @ BlePapagalos), and more chitchat. We ask her about her favourite route in the area, where she goes for meals and a drink, and which places she recommends to friends and visitors; and she has plenty of recommendations. After crossing Pireos Street, which looks like it divides the area in two, the walk she particularly enjoys is at the Archaeological Site of Kerameikos (Ermou 148), the first public cemetery in ancient Athens. It is her favourite “retreat� and ideal for strolls, especially this time of year as it is filled with the smells of spring like few other places in the heart of the city. A visit to the Kerameikos Archaeological Museum (+30 210 3463552), situated within the site, is another must stop of the tour especially for first time visitors. On your way out, it is also well worth visit-

One other appealing option for an early dinner and drinks at the square is Myrovolos (fb: @myrovolosmetaxourgeio), and since we’re here, we can’t not visit the Municipal Gallery of Athens (+30 2103231841), not just for the exhibitions held there, but also for its historical building, which is one of the oldest neoclassical buildings in Athens restored only a decade ago. It was designed by Danish architect Christian Hansen and operated as a silk factory until 1875. We’re still chatting about art and Rebecca points out some more must-see spots in the area, like the outstanding Vamiali’s Gallery and The Breeder Gallery (thebreedersystem.com), as well as the multi-space Atopos (atopos. gr), located at one of the neighbourhood’s most beautiful streets named Salaminos, with wonderful old houses and mansions, some of which have been restored, but most now dilapidated.

– K E R A M E I KO S – There are spots in Kerameikos that resemble a village. Narrow pedestrian streets with low-rise timeworn housing, next to the tasteless apartment blocks of the 70s and 80s and brand new industrial style buildings made in the ‘00s at the beginning of gentrification, a process which was never completed in this part of town. No worries. After all, it is Tuesday today; the day when locals meet at the colourful and surprisingly not rowdy street market of Kerameikou Street. Rebecca does her shopping with her weaved – unlike the ordinary ones – tote bag in hand, and continues at the or-
– ಸ ઔ – ganic grocery store Sto Vathos Kipos (www.bathoskipos.gr) which mainly provides for the residents of Kerameikos, and makes a quick stop for a sandwich at San Francisco (fb: @tosanfrancisco), one of the vicinity’s most popular hangouts. This too is added to the tour list she made, for a few extra, yet tasty, calories. Then again, if you are a fan of dancing and movement, you needn’t worry. A dance lesson at the friendly Dance Studio Chorologie (with an option for private lessons, choro-logie.com) can end this extraordinary walk, in this extraordinary neighbourhood.

t was one of the busiest places in ancient Athens, a meeting place for artists, craftsmen and crowds passing through its gates, or visiting to honour their loved ones. Located a breath away from today’s modern city centre and very close to Thiseio and Monastiraki, it is one of the most significant and beautiful archaeological sites in Greece. Kerameikos largely owes its reputation to Eridanos, the small river which still flows, underground for the most part, in the centre of Athens. The clay-rich soil of the riverbed was a first-rate material for the making of vases. Thus, the ancient Kerameis, namely the pottery craftsmen, set up their workshops and shops at the spot where Eridanos would flood. The vicinity was named after them. It was the largest manufacturing centre for the famous Attic vases, which today adorn the world’s largest museums. Kerameikos, however, was also important for many other reasons. This is where Dipylon Gate was situated, the ceremonial wall gate where the great Panathenaic Festival procession began. The preparation of the procession took place in the adjacent building, the Pompeion, and then the faithful would head to the Acropolis to honour the goddess Athena. The Eleusinian Mysteries procession passed through the nearby Sacred Gate.
During the Classical period, cemeteries were constructed in the area that were decorated with family marble monuments, while just outside the Dipylon, the Demosion Sema, or public cemetery, was created as the burial site of prominent Athenians and heroes. This is where Pericles delivered his Epitafios Logos funeral oration for the first dead of the Peloponnesian War (430 BC). Visitors today can see a section of the Pompeion, the Themistoclean Wall and the two gates, and tour the necropolis of ancient Athens. The elaborate marble stele tombstones surrounding the Odos ton Tafon (Street of Tombs) depict the separation from the worldly in such a way that leaves no one unmoved. Also magnificent are the Dexileos funerary monument, the Grave Stele of Hegeso and the grave relief of Demetria and Pamphile, as well as the impressive marble bull of 345 BC perched on the funerary monument of Dionysios. Exhibited in the museum are many findings from the site, including many vases. The most humble, but still one of the most beautiful sights in Kerameikos is Eridanos. This small river can be seen here, surrounded by the distinctive vegetation of Attica. So, the visitor can lay on the riverbank, enjoy the site’s serenity and feel history flowing silently beside him.
TOURS IN ATHENS
THE ACTION PLUS TEAM consists of archaeologists, tour guides, researchers and philologists who plan and oer one of a kind experiences to the visitor of Athens, such as a tour of the Acropolis of the Middle Ages, Athens during the Ottoman times, tracing the footsteps of Roman emperors, secrets of the great museums and the streets where ancient Greeks walked on.

Fifty shades of pink. ä?žçŁŒç´¤
Peach BLOSSOM UNFORGETTABLE SPRING WALKS FOR THOSE WHO FIND THEMSELVES AT THE PLAIN OF MACEDONIA.
T
hroughout the world, the phenomenon of flowering cherries in Japan may be identified with the beginning of spring, however, there is another tree in northern Greece which signifies nature’s regeneration and this is none other than the peach tree. Indeed, the colourful image of thousands of trees in full bloom at the fertile plain of Imathia in central Macedonia every March, especially during the second ten days of the month, is truly unique. Every shade of pink makes the scenery look like an artistic landscape painting -after all, blooming peach trees have been the inspiration for great painters like Van Gogh-, while locals and visitors can enjoy this visual feast either from above -the nearby Veria overlooks the plain from its natural balcony-, or by organising bicycle rides through the blooming trees. Although peach trees are of Chinese origin -the peach in ancient China was a symbol of female fertility-, Europeans were introduced to it by the Persians, hence its official Latin name Prunus persica. Furthermore, in Roman mythology, the peach was the fruit of the goddess Venus and has also been cited as a symbol of immortality, sincerity The gold larnaca and and truth. In modern Greece, the peach tree is cultiwreath of Philip II. vated systematically in Central Macedonia and Thessaly, ę†„č’€äŹ˜ç´ľâ˝“ă„¤čžŠâľ„ĺ…œ âœłâš†č”…ć˘ ď˜ˇ while the Greek peach production from the Imathia plain began around the 1960s. — by kiki vassalou

TRAVELLING to Northern Greece and after passing Thessaloniki, the small nearby city of Veria is of great interest. Arriving there, it is well worth visiting the archaeological site The Jewish quarter of Veria. of Vergina (13km from Veria, ăŞŽç”¨ę§‰ă™šćœ”ăŁ–âź“ www.aigai.gr), where, among other things, you will see the tombs of ancient Macedonian kings, including the one of King Philip II, father of Alexander the Great. Moving on westward to the city of Veria, look for the well-preserved Jewish quarter named Barbouta, an isolated area built with urban defense enclaves, and for a meal opt for the restaurant and wine bar 12 Grada (www.12grada.gr). As for accommodation, head for the boutique hotel Kokkino Spiti (www.kokkinospiti.gr), which is housed in a 19th century listed building.

the
Cycladic collection
The Cycladic civilisation flourished in the islands of the central Aegean during the 3rd millennium BC. The Museum of Cycladic Art houses one of the most important collections of Cycladic antiquities worldwide, with representative examples of figurines, vases, weapons, tools and pottery. Marble carving is the most distinctive creative example of the Cycladic culture, and it is not surprising that the abstract forms of the figurines 㕈⩴䬕ꂽ趴笡⮬ have inspired many artists of ⪫⩧⯼䌑䈱⺯㕈⩴䬕ꂽ倁僻㐃曄 the 20thand 21st centuries like 樥嶯╚ꌄ㼲㻷┪讕ⲿ㺥ն㕈⩴䬕ꂽ虪 Brancusi, Modigliani, Giacometti, 勘朮눒⪾劔┿汕┪劅ꓨ锢溸㕈⩴䬕ꂽ Hepworth and Moore. 倁朮侅趴劅⪾♣銩䙎溸䭇☭朮⦑յ Hers: One-shoulder pleated dress and belt (worn as a headband) MaxMara, MaxMara Boutique.

The collection of Thanos N. Zintillis, one of the largest collections of Cypriot antiquities in the world, was granted to the Museum in 2002. With more than 500 objects dating from the Chalcolithic to the post-Byzantine period, it highlights the richness in style and decoration of pottery from the Prehistoric and Historic periods, the worship, weaving, metalworking, burial practices, foreign relations and its evolution as a form of art.

Located at the junction of Vasilissis Sofias and Irodotou, it was designed by Bavarian architect Ernst Ziller and constitutes one of the best preserved examples of 19th century neoclassical architecture in Athens. It houses the museum’s periodic exhibitions and adds a unique character to the exhibits, but it is also worth visiting it independently.

Living
As we travel through the orange groves of the Argolic plain, we constantly encounter the remnants of ancient myths. On the Argos hill, Europe’s most ancient city still inhabited to this day, we find the place where the mythical Perseus reigned. At the impressive archaeological site of Mycenae, we will tour the palaces of the cursed House of Atreus and its members who star in the Homeric epics and most legendary ancient Greek tragedies. Unfolding at the marshes of Lerna is the setting which gave birth to the Lernaean Hydra, the mythical creature with one hundred heads confronted by Odysseus in the famous Homeric epic. Rising above the vineyards of Nemea are the rocky mountains where the mythical Nemean lion lived. And at the mountainous Stymfalia lake, we find the same high vegetation where the man-eating Stymphalian birds would hide according to the myth. Hercules startled them with goddess Athena’s bronze rattles and then slew them with his arrows. People visiting the lake today can admire the majestic landscape, observe the... harmless birds of the wetland and when the appetite kicks in, they can go to one of the traditional tavernas found at the lake shore and the surrounding villages, and try the region’s speciality: spit-roasted pork.

VISIT THE MUSEUM | The Environment Museum of Stymphalia (+30 27470 22296, www.piop.gr) is situated on the verdant hillside surrounding the homonymous lake and is worth a bit of your time, since here you will learn about the region’s environment and its importance, how it has affected the development of human activity and rather specifically, the traditional professions. Inside the museum you will also see an open aquarium representing a cross-section of the lake with live fish and plants of the region.

The vineyards of Hercules According to myth, when Hercules slayed the lion of Nemea, he quenched his thirst with Nemea’s “black� wine. The region’s ancient wine-making tradition 1. continues uninterrupted to this today. The vineyards of Nemea stretch over an area of 2,500 hectares found at altitudes from 200 to 850 metres, embracing seventeen villages. This is where the famous Agiorgitiko wine is produced, a multi-dynamic variety, also known as the “blood of Hercules�. The soil’s heterogeneity and the altitudinal differences create a diverse flavour, and therefore a visit to any of the numerous wineries becomes more interesting. Apart from the Agiorgitiko, you will also find the varieties athiri, lagothri, malagousia, moschofilero, roditis, asproudes, kalliniatino, mavroudi and others. The Corinth raisin, cultivated here since prehistoric times, also holds a special place in the viticulture. Its dry fruit has great nutritional value and can be eaten raw, or used in cooking and baking. 78 / ELEGA NT TR AV EL GR EECE

The gold of Argolida For his eleventh labour, Hercules had to steal the golden fruits from the Hesperides in the mythical garden of the gods. These fruits, which scholars of mythology identify as oranges, are now considered the “gold of Argolida�. After all, this is where the largest orange grove in Greece and one of the richest worldwide is located. The mild climate, the soil’s fertile composition and sea breeze also favour other agricultural products. The eastern region is renowned for its olive oil, whereas mandarins, lemons, apricots, pomegranates, melons, tomatoes, beans, aubergines and others are cultivated in the Argolic plain and in other areas. On the Argolic plain route, you will come across stalls selling oranges and other vegetables on the side of the road. Do not hesitate to stop and buy.

Agamemnon’s Palace
SHUTTERSTOCK
At the dawn of prehistory (1600-1100 BC) a great civilisation flourished initially in the Peloponnese region and gradually throughout Greece which relied on agriculture, livestock farming, crafts and, of course, military power. Its centre was Mycenae (+30 27510 76585, entrance to the archaeological site â‚Ź12), a splendid fortified city, which dominated over the Argolic plain. Its megalithic walls were so impregnable that legend has it they were built by Cyclopes. Three and a half thousand years later, they are almost still intact. The same goes for the impressive Lion Gate, considered to be the oldest example of European monumental sculpture. Archaeological excavations have brought to light palaces, workshops, underground cisterns, vaulted tombs, ornate artefacts, but also the home of an oil merchant who lived three and a half millennia ago. Scattered throughout the plain, you will find even more remnants of this distant civilisation: ruined acropolises, cemeteries and technical feats, such as the Bridge of Kazerma, one of the oldest in the world. THE MONA LISA OF PREHISTORY | In 1876, a golden funeral mask of unparalleled beauty was discovered in Mycenae. At first, archaeologists called it the Mask of Agamemnon believing it belonged to the mythical King of Mycenae. As it turned out, it is 300 years older than the Trojan War era. Whatever the case, scientists call it “The Mona Lisa of Prehistoryâ€? and it is exhibited at the Archaeological Museum of Athens.

Epidavros, Îżn the Broadway of antiquity Verdant hills, small pine-covered beaches, springs flowing with crystal clear waters; the landscape of Epidavros can heal sight and soul. Not by accident, it was the most important healing centre of the Greco-Roman world that operated here for more than two thousand years. Patients were accommodated in the Katagogion, a huge ancient hotel with 160 apartments, bathe in the Loutra (baths) and visit the Tholos (altar), a mystical circular building where the health patron god Asklepios “residedâ€?. At the end, they would purify with water from the “sacred wellâ€? and sleep in the Abaton. The god, or his holy animals, would appear in their sleep and reveal the healing method. At this exact same place in the 4th century BC, architect Polykleitos built the finest theatre of antiquity. Even though it is huge (accommodating 14,000 spectators), the theatre of Epidavros has unparalleled elegance and unsurpassed acoustics. Try it for yourself: Stand centre stage and talk. Even the slightest whisper will reach the last row before it fades into the pine tree forest behind the stands. THE ATHENS-EPIDAVROS FESTIVAL | Every summer, contemporary ancient drama performances, as well as opera and dance performances are held at the ancient theatre of Epidavros. Artists who have passed through the “wombâ€? of Epidavros include Katina Paxinou, Irene Papa, Maria Callas, Morris BĂŠjart, Montserrat CaballĂŠ, JosĂŠ Carreras, Luciano Pavarotti, GĂŠrard Depardieu, Isabella Rosselini, Helen Mirren, Ethan Hawke, Pina Bausch and many more. (Check out this year’s programme at the Athens & Epidavros Festival site, greekfestival.gr) EPIDAURIAN FLAVOURS | The ancient visitors of Epidavros would enjoy their meal at the Hestiatorion (dining hall), a large building within the sanctuary. The god would also participate in these ritualistic meals, extending strength and good health to the faithful. Visitors today have far more choices. The Taverna of Leonidas (+30 2753 022115) at the Lygourio village has for many decades been the meeting place for actors and audiences after a performance. Then again, fish fans can head over to Akrogiali (+30 2753 041060) in Ancient Epidavros. Found at the same seaside location are the traditional restaurants Klimata (+30 27530 41225), Mouria (+30 27530 41218) and the Bolbos taverna (+30 27530 41471) which serves excellent meat.
Exploring the Greek Riviera If we imagine the Peloponnese as a giant palm of a hand, then Argolida and the surrounding area are clearly its thumb. Resting there are lush olive groves, picturesque villages and enchanting resorts, surrounded by three of the most beautiful Greek islands: Hydra, Spetses and Poros. Following the coastline south of Epidavros, we first arrive at ancient Troizina, homeland of the mythical Theseus, and then at Methana, a volcanic peninsula with the sleeping volcano. Its gentle breath has endowed the springs of Methana with great healing properties. Next stop is Galatas, the small port just a few metres from Poros. The crossing for Hydra is found south of Metohi. Seen nearby, opposite the picturesque port of Ermioni, is Dokos the island where one of the two oldest shipwrecks in the world has been found (dating to 2150 BC). As the water of the sea is coloured with a magnificent green hue, the road brings us first to Kosta where one can cross over to Spetses, and then to the cosmopolitan Porto Heli the semi-circular bay where sailboats and luxurious yachts dock throughout the year. Porto Heli is still known for its wonderful beaches, luxurious villas and the submerged ancient city of Halieis. Leaving the so-called “Greek Riviera� and heading north, we see the Kranidi mansion which in the past served as a shipping hub. Close by is the Franchthi cave, one of the most important caves in the world, where artefacts and remnants of prehistoric habitation dating back to 40000 BC have been found. Moving along the Argolic Gulf coastline, we come across resorts such as Lefka, Vivari and Tolo before we reach the “base of the thumb�, the enchanting Nafplio.

“Good perfumes come in small bottles”, says a proverb, and Nafplio is exactly that: A beautiful small classy town, which rightfully honours its title as the first capital of the free Greek State (1828-1833), located just an hour and a half’s drive from Athens. — BY GI O RG O S PA NAGI OTA K I S —

History exudes from every corner of Nafplio. Take a walk through the quaint alleys, go up the time worn stairs, admire the neoclassical buildings from the 19th century and the wonderful square of Syntagma, and discover the Byzantine and Venetian monuments. You will also see the old canons and the Ottoman fountains with poetic inscriptions, cross the “Land Gate” and at the district of Pronoia you will come across the “Bavarian Lion” statue carved in rock. In 1831, the first governor of Greece, Ioannis Kapodistrias, was assassinated in an alley in Nafplio. In fact, one of the bullet’s imprint can still be found on the wall of the small church of Aghios Spyridon. Visit the spot and in your mind relive the scene of this historical assassination.

Admire the view from above Nafplio is even more enchanting from above. The best view can be found in Palamidi, the imposing Venetian fortress from the early 18th century. Walk through the barricades, view the town and the Argolic Gulf from the turrets and... shiver at the sight of the dark dungeon where Theodoros Kolokotronis, the hero of the Greek revolution was imprisoned. You can get to Palamidi either by car following the ring road, or - if your legs can take it -, by going up about 1000 steps from the town.

Browse through the Old Town and its history
Walk by the waves This is the route the locals pick for a walk, or a jog. The first part starts from the waterfront and ends up at the small pebbled beach of Arvanitia, just below the fortress. The cobbled street carved in rock is almost washed by the sea and crowned with prickly pears. Equally enjoyable is the route’s second half from Arvanitia to the sandy bay of Karathona that is adorned with palm trees, eucalyptus and tamarisk. An ideal time for the second walk is during sunset, when the small cove rocks are painted with a reddish colour and the landscape becomes like a fairy-tale. You can also sign up and use the bicycles provided by the Nafplio Municipality (nafplio.cyclopolis.gr), or rent a four-wheel bike for four, or six people from the company operating at the port.

The Old Town has an array of restaurants to match any preference, but it is also well worth walking outside the centre - where locals frequent and authentic traditional flavours are served. For fish soup and seafood visit Arapakos (Bouboulinas 81, +30 27520 27675, arapakos.gr), the adjacent Savouras (Bouboulinas 79, +30 27520 27704), or Psaropoula tou Valsami (Nea Kios, +30 27510 51162). At Noulis (Moutzouridou 8, +30 27520 25541) chef Andrianos Andrianopoulos serves among other things, dishes with artichokes from Iria and saganaki flambĂŠ, while at Fanaria (Staikopoulou 13, +30 27520 27141) you will find local dishes, such as the bogana (a lamb casserole with whole potatoes). At the multi-venue Fougaro (Asklipiou 98, +30 27520 47300, fougaro.gr) you can try creative culinary experiments from the Greek and international cuisine, surrounded by works of art. One of the most delicious Peloponnesian dishes are the goges - handmade pasta covered with local mizithra cheese and oil. Try them along with other authentic flavours at the restaurant Ta Alonia (+30 27520 24610) in Pyrgiotika - a village hidden in a vast orange grove, just outside Nafplio.

An ideal spot for loosening your tie after work with a Bloody Mary with miso, an original Martini - especially the Lord Greek Martini with aged tsipouro Lord Amber, Oloroso sherry and Pedro Ximenez served with botargo, and of course, a Mai Tai, and trying the bar food while you’re at it. There is a strong change one will lead to the other, and you might end up staying there until late. (Ploutarchou 18, Kolonaki, +30 210 7291289, metro: Syntagma/Evangelismos)

CHOUREAL THE CRISPY CHOUX PASTRIES are the absolute protagonists in this little sweet shop, which, after gaining a devout following in Thessaloniki, opened not long ago in the heart of Athens on a street perpendicular to the bustling street of Ermou.

Apart from making your own tailor made proďŹ terole at the Choureal, you can also succumb to an ĂŠclair, or a Paris-Brest.

I LOLLO’S ATENE
t’s been ten years since Sabrina Ciarpelloni and Stefano Gentili left behind their careers in Rome and opened a classic Roman-style pizzeria on Antiparos. It was a smash hit and their reputation exceeded the boundaries of the island. So they decided to bring this very successful Italian concept to Athens, and found a home in a beautiful 1950s detached house in Chalandri, decorated in white and dark green. The wood oven baked pinsa (a different style oval pizza with a light thin crust) served here is in high demand and comes in many variations, either with red or white sauce, spicy, gourmet and many different toppings; not that the strictly al dente handmade pasta is less popular… (Ethnikis Antistaseos 3A, Chalandri, +30 210 6801040, Metro: Chalandri).

THIS TASTEFUL CAFÉ, BAR AND RESTAURANT created by four friends, borrows its name from the main hero of a Verdi opera. Coffee and breakfast, Mediterranean comfort food, wines from Greek and international vineyards, cocktails and atmospheric music are the main ingredients of the intriguing “plotline” in this new establishment, which is hidden in an arcade, only a few steps from Syntagma Square. In the menu you will find anything from a veal carpaccio and squid with tarama (fish roe) and roast beetroot, up to mushroom ravioli with blue cheese soft cream and veal braise, or a pan-fried Milanese veal steak. The options are plenty and will satisfy all tastes. (Voukourestiou 4, in the arcade, Syntagma, +30 210 3210007, metro: Syntagma)

– SENSES – THE ERGON RESTAURANT & DELI may have been ‘away’ for a short while from the centre of the capital, but it has made a dynamic comeback, broadening its options with a... foodie hotel. As soon as you enter, your eyes are drawn by the impressive mural by the graffiti artist INO and a perennial olive tree that looks like it has sprouted in the middle of the hall. It is surrounded by a grocery store selling the company’s products, a butcher’s, a greengrocer’s, a bakery and a micro roastery, whereas on the upper oors are the 38 comfortable, modern rooms of this new, unique concept that entices food-loving travellers, not only ć˜śâ›™é¤?皥꾺ꂋä?…꧉Ⰺ with a mini bar ďŹ lled with delicatessen products, but also with large communal kitchens where visitors can cook, or participate in cooking workshops.

In this new colourful, small, cleverly conceived hangout, you can sit on the bench, fill your glass with an ice-cold Saigon beer and eat small rolls with smoked pork, shrimp and rice noodles wrapped in mustard leaf and fried handmade tofu along with other foodies sitting on the stools for a dose of Vietnamese exotica.

Modern, comfortable, with plenty of beautiful corners - benches, tables, comfortable leather sofas-, Frater & Soror became popular with crowds ever since it opened a few months ago. It is open in the morning for coffee, delicious and original comfort food and a very good selection of gin and tonics. Hiding in the basement is another, separate restaurant called Phi Beta Kappa, where chef Dimos Balopoulos unleashes his creativity with dishes like crawfish with green salad and Florina peppers, aged beef tartar with cabbage and egg-lemon sauce, or fish of the day with leek umeboshi and Beurre Blanc sauce.

THE NEW FOYER of the Municipal Theatre of Pireaus has already become a meeting place for locals, where they don’t only meet before, or after a performance. Attuned to the character and history of the neoclassical building that houses it, you get the sense of being in a classic Berlin, or French style bistro. With an impressive chandelier, the old original numbered chairs of the theatre, photographs –remnants of bygone days, and a piano, it is an atmospheric meeting point for coffee, a light meal or a drink – open from 10am until late in the evening.

A FEW OF THE DOZENS OF “HIDDEN PASSAGES” RUNNING THROUGH THE HEART OF ATHENS, WHICH HIDE POPULAR BARS, BUZZING CAFES, COSY RESTAURANTS AND ALL SORTS OF TASTEFUL AND CREATIVE LITTLE SHOPS.
U
ndoubtedly, Stoa Spyromiliou at the City Link surrounded by high end boutiques, well-known jewellers and theatres, is the city’s most cosmopolitan arcade. Businessmen and shoppers share the tables of Clemente VIII, an elegant Italian cafe at the arcade’s exit towards Voukourestiou Street, sipping a cappuccino, having a light meal watching the world go by on the pedestrian street.. And when they get an appetite for a full meal or dinner, they can choose between Pasaji and Ilios. On the one hand, Pasaji, with its impressive Bisazza wall mosaics, has a menu with a balance between Greek and international cuisine, and by browsing through its pages one will find anything from crispy feta with tomato jam, to risottos, burgers and sushi. On the other hand, at Ilios, with its charming European classic cafe aura and black-and-white city photographs on the walls, the dishes of the urban Greek cuisine from the 50s and 60s blend with more contemporary concepts.

Whichever wooden deck you pick from the two sides of the arcade, your eyes will surely be drawn by the impressive sculpture “Passage” by artist Vana Xenou: a series of brass and stainless steel figures swaying like flying acrobats from one end to the other under the glass roof. Before leaving, make sure you visit the beautiful corner of the Piraeus Bank Group Cultural Foundation located at the end of the arcade, just before you exit to Amerikis Street, in order to buy small tasteful gifts and original souvenirs available at the stores of the Foundation’s Museum Network. A few steps further along the axis of Syntagma Square, will lead you to the Stoa Bolani that connects Kolokotroni Street (at no.3)

to Voulis Street (at no.7). At the entrance found on the side of Kolokotroni, stands the stylish 42 Barstronomy, a gastrobar with a large, comfortable bar that combines snacks, finger food, meals and a wide range of interesting and particularly refined cocktails. Hidden a bit further down, is the Mandras House of Tea where Athenians get their supply of aromatic sachets filled with tea and herbs, teapots, mugs and strainers. Pizza dal Professore is about to open just opposite, serving classic as well as more unique pizzas, baked in a special rotary oven painted in the colours of Italy. Exactly next door, you will find Kaya with possibly the best, fast coffee in the city centre - the baristas here are very meticulous - and if you would rather go for a thick, warm, aromatic hot chocolate, bitter, with milk, or white, then the small, cute and colourful Sokolata 56 awaits you with dozens of options.

ext to the stylish barber shop Sir Barber, where they still use the classic shaving razor, is Low Profile, a classic meeting place for whiskey lovers who enjoy the rich collection of Scottish, Irish, American and Japanese spirits, while listening to jazz, blues and rock ’n’ roll. Across from the disSir Barber play window of Melefsis, a small shop specializing in honey, pollen and royal jelly and the confectionery Aristokratikon (dating back to 1928) famous for its chocolates, the all-day cafe-bar Barreldier awaits you, with the jovial Mario Basso serving an exquisite aged Negroni behind the bar, where you can enjoy a laid back bar breakfast, a salad, a burger, or a variety of cheeses, cold meats and a glass of wine, while sitting inside, or at the tables found within the arcade and the pavement of Voulis Street. There is yet another arcade in Syntagma, on the other side of the square, worth noting in your agenda while in the capital. Namely, the Stoa Ralli (G. Souri 3 and Filellinon), where the atmospheric wine bistro By the Glass is hidden, with a rich wine list from both Greek and international vineyards and a cuisine combining Mediterranean and international flavours. The Coravin, the wine gadget which allows oenophiles to taste even pricey wines by the glass, encourages successive tastings and the establishment’s sommelier is more than willing to guide you through the Greek gems found in the list with hundreds of labels. The tables under the large arcade lanterns are much sought after all year round, but as soon as summer hits, you can also go to the square opposite, behind the Russian Church, and enjoy a glass of wine paired with a carpaccio, a ceviche, or any other of the available dishes, right under the sky of Attica. Going down Kolokotroni Street from Syntagma towards Monastiraki, you will come across the Stoa Kourtaki which houses the impressive Noel, where every day is like... Christmas. The makers of this nostalgic and admittedly maximalist bar-restaurant with baroque aesthetics that combines elements from Paris, Lisbon and Havana, aimed to create a space where every day is a cause for celebration. Indeed, at this holiday bar, the joyful mood and good vibes are always on the menu, and so is coffee, Mediterranean flavours and interesting cocktails. Both the arcade, as well as the tables placed on the outside pavement are packed from morning until night.

t Stoa Praxitelous, at the number 25 of Kolokotroni Street, you will find the small ‘kingdom’ of Bartesera, a lively and artistic space with options for any time of the day. With comfortable armchairs and cozy corners for two, it is a bar which loves cocktails, with alternating Djs on the decks, currently going through its most creative period and always high on Paul the popularity list. Other bars within the arcade are Gin Joint on Christou Lada Street in Karytsi Square, specialising in gin and amazing cocktails - this year’s truly amazing list is inspired by the old Almanacs and full of intriguing options -, its ‘sibling’ bar Drunk Sinatra, and Rehab which serves good cocktails right next door, at the back of the arcade, at number 16 of the pedestrian street of Thiseos. If you’d rather opt for a bar which goes back half-century, then we will refer you to Galaxy, a small classic city joint hidden in another arcade on Stadiou Street, opposite the Old Parliament: photographs and retro adverts on the walls, music playing at low levels, the bartender filling up glasses behind the wooden bar, as you go for an after office drink and stay there chatting for hours. There are also other secret passages worth exploring in the heart of the capital. Relatively nearby, at the entrance of the arcade at number 10 Panepistimiou Street, the boulangerie-patisserie Paul showcases at its large window display rich sandwiches with fine ingredients, freshly baked butter croissants, fluffy quiche and all sorts of French sweet treats, while further in this arcade formerly called “stoa tou Apotsou”, nestles By the Glass Telemachos Athens, an acclaimed steak house with a huge chandelier hanging at the entrance. The city’s meat-lovers come here for the Fassona Piemontese steak and the American Rib eye, but also succumb to a Greek lamb fricassee and herbs, or a spaghetti with goat and tomato sauce, thick spaghetti and kefalotyri cheese from Kefalonia. Even if you are not in the mood for hardcore meat eating, you can still enjoy the the rich wine collection accompanied by fine cheeses and cold meats at the bar.

rossing from Panepistimiou Street to Stadiou Street and vice versa, the Stoa Nikoloudi also provides a reason for a brief stop. The small grocery store En ti Stoa is the first shop in Athens with such a wide variety of medicinal cannabis products (cannabis oil, flowers, tea, chocolates, coffee and tea, creams and ointments), as well as organic food supplements. Further inside, at Chocotopia, you will find excellent chocolate bars, delicious hot chocolate drinks, an assortment of chocolates arranged on display, as well as delicious ice-cream made from goat’s milk. Opposite, at the small and health minded Daily Fresh one can get freshly cooked meals, salads, sandwiches and fresh juices, and in the back, on the side of Stadiou, between the Alpha Bank buildings, the Cafe Mazi, where the vicinity’s professionals and passersby find a spot to have a coffee, read their newspaper and relax. For the end, we have left the Stoa ton Emboron (Merchants’ Arcade), a favourite of the instagrammers for its luminous retro signs hanging off the roof (an installation titled “Traces of Commerce” depicting its commercial past), which was granted recently by the Municipality Café Mazi of Athens to young people with the aim of creating hubs for social entrepreneurship. It houses small shops, including Shedia Art, with products made of recycled issues of Shedia, the publication of the homeless, Rokani, which converts scrap wooden and metal material intended for household appliances, Coocoo Creations with ceramics and woven textiles, One Tool Three with jewellery made by young artists and designers and many other interesting projects. After gazing at the window displays, chances are you will leave with either a light fixture made from recycled paper, useful objects printed on 3D printers, or a set of handmade earrings. Exiting out the back, you will come across the bars on Lekka Street: the minuscule - despite its name - Huge, the very friendly Rabbithole, the ever popular Ambariza and the tasteful Peek a Bloom. Spread across two neighbouring alleys, these bars are ideal for early drinks - not that they don’t go on until late.

SMOKING IN STYLE AT ALEXANDER’S CIGAR LOUNGE.
C
igar aficionados will find their shrine on the first floor of the Grande Bretagne Hotel. Decorated in a colonial style, with wooden panelling, plush furniture, rich carpets and engravings, the Alexander’s Cigar Lounge is the ultimate gentleman’s cave; a luxurious hideout ideal for mixing business with pleasure, friendly office breaks and some sophisticated late evening puffing. You will find handmade Cuban cigars in its collection with rich, complex fragrances in various sizes (from Panetelas to Gran Coronas) and types (mild, medium and full bodied). Savour a classic Cohiba Robusto, a Montecristo No 2, a Partagas Serie D No 4, or a Romeo y Julieta Churchil, either inside, or outside in the beautiful indoor garden of this emblematic hotel at Syntagma Square, surrounded by olive trees and flowerbeds. Next to it, put an Armagnac, a Calvados, a port or a Scottish single malt whiskey, succumb to a well balanced cocktail, and if you want to grab a bite to eat take your pick from the varieties of cheeses and cured meats, but also fine snacks, from bao buns with caramelised duck, spring rolls and dumplings, to tortillas and open sandwiches.

n a 1920s building, used for decades as an assembly line for trucks and buses, and which also housed the first Volkswagen repair shop in Greece in the 1960s, hides –and we say hides since there is no sign– a wine & whiskey bar with an impressive wine cellar. Easy going as well as more distinctive wines –especially the part of the wine list from the personal collection of owner Dimitris Litinas where you will discover several gems from Greek and international vineyards– and an excellent selection of spirits are all leading players in this particular drinking den that is decorated with sheet
iron, metal and wood from pallets, ‘toying’ with the industrial past of this space. All the aforementioned are combined with cheese and cold meats at the small cheese bar, or with food at the tables and benches. Found in the kitchen menu, are grilled shrimp with coriander coulis, orzo kritharotto with veal tail and ‘sinful’ corn cheese. (Verias 13 & Iera Odos 64, Votanikos, +30 210 3459299, 6980 486175)

A WITTY NAME for a small Japanese pub in the city centre, where the yakitori (skewered chicken) reigns supreme. Pick one of the two entrances, either on Voulis Street or Skoufou Street, and if you are lucky, since they don’t make reservations, you immediately grab a stool right behind the bar where wings, thighs, liver and crispy skins from organic grass-fed birds are grilled to perfection. The excellent wagyu beef nigiri, as well as the rib eye with pico de galo, or tenderloin with soy butter and crispy onion complete the picture. With anything from a glass of wine, to a single malt from the eclectic list in hand, you can enjoy the cool atmosphere with good music.

THE SPACIOUS AND LUMINOUS oyster bar at the Zea Marina in Piraeus, with a main indoor area extending over two verandas on the side, creates a visual sensation of travel, combines country and nautical decorative elements with minimalist elegance and a full view over the docked sailboats. You will start with oysters on a sakĂŠ and vodka shot, share with your company of friends a seafood platter and a very savoury orzo kritharoto with fresh crab, snack on tapas like squid on a rustic baguette with plenty variations of a Bloody Mary and relax feeling the sea breeze.

EAST MEETS WEST in this small, stylishly exotic and modern restaurant with cool vibes, which has been constantly packed ever since it opened last autumn. In the menu, which illustrates George Venieris’ modern take on Asian cuisine, there are no starters, or main course: you simply choose freely and share if you wish. You can also pair a gin and tonic with a Thai nigiri with amberjack and hot sesame oil, or a light salmon bun with avocado and kaffir lime while sitting at the small bar; but it is also worth trying the succulent pulled duck burger with stamnagathi (spiny chicory) and pickled fruit, the sweet eggplant peanut butter miso and the very original lobster pad thai.

OUZO, AN OCCASION FOR COMPANY A national drink for the Greeks, the ouzo, immediately brings to mind seaside tables, sunshine and cheerful companies with small meze appetiz7237457) ers lined up to accompany the ouzo and to… moderate it. This much is needed. Mixed in the alembic (the distillation vessel) is pure alcohol of agricultural origin, anise embellishing it with its characteristic aroma and other aromatics such as fennel, coriander and mastic giving it a sweeter taste, star anise, liquorice and makedonisi (a type of wild celery), all resulting in high alcohol by volume. You may drink it straight, although it is usually diluted in ice cold water, or a few ice cubes in order to release

its flavourings, as well as to ameliorate alcohol intoxication. Mytilini is undoubtedly the land of ouzo, covering about half the Greek production, and the ouzo from Chios is also renowned, however this popular aromatic aperitif is produced all over Greece: in Tirnavos, in Macedonia, in Epirus. It is usually enjoyed at noontime – as it creates an appetite – served in a small, or tall glass. When you add water, its transparent colour turns white and milky due to the essential oils of anise. A common folk drink
with a Greek soul, relaxed and cheerful, ouzo calls for seafood appetizers which is imperative they are placed at table centre to be shared, just like sharing the news, the joys, future plans and occasionally the woes of the banqueters. So beside it, place taramosalata (roe salad), grilled octopus, marinated anchovies, all kinds of small fried fish, mussels saganaki, fish-balls, or codfish croquettes and savour it.

A WARM WELCOME WITH TSIPOURO OR RAKI In the case of tsipouro, which comes in two types, with or without anise, and the Cretan tsikoudia (or raki), the raw material for the production of distillate is the marc, namely the remaining grape pulp left by the pressure applied during wine production. The kazanemata (a traditional process of producing the spirit) which take place throughout Greece at the end of autumn, are an occasion for a feast. Especially in Crete, where they almost become a Dionysian feast: the cauldron’s aromas permeate the surroundings, meze appetizers come and go, as the lyre players grab the instruments and everyone celebrates the new batch of tsikoudia for... as long as it takes. Thus, these distillations are born, which are linked with the hospitality of the region and carry on: as soon as a visitor arrives, a tsipouro or a raki and a meze will surely be handed out to offer a warm welcome. As in the case of ouzo, when these spirits find their way to the table with their delectable accompaniments, the intention is not to become inebriated, or to fill up; it is about sharing and being merry. Since tsipouro generally loves strong flavours as well as the savoury, bitter and spicy which are a perfect match for it, one can also pair it with pickles and spicy peppers, any kind of salt cured fish, singlino, apaki, kavourmas and sausages, as well as a strong flavoured cheese with high salinity. Tsipouro has evolved in recent years. Now more refined, varietal tsipouro can be found in the market which highlight their respective grape varieties, as well as aged tsipouro that has spent months, sometimes even years in the likes of oak barrels and such. The latter are not to be consumed with food, but rather at the end of a meal, and they are also used in cocktails by Greek bartenders. So, apart from cafes and tavernas which are the natural environment for tsipouro, there is a strong chance you will also find it in bars. Karamanlidika tou Fani is one of the favourite places for locals and visitors. ,BSBNBOMJEJLB UPV 'BOJ僽䔲㖒➃ㄤ康㹐剓㋐ 妅涸귭⾍⛓♧

The beauty authority Depending on skin type, the age or the time of year, the beauty routine should adapt to the skin’s needs and provide it with everything it requires for a beautiful look, a proper function and to be able to cope with outdoor environmental conditions. Rich in antioxidants, with sophisticated moisturising compositions, the pioneering cosmetic formulations become the arsenal of beauty. They fight against free radicals, the loss of vitality, offer deep hydration and stimulate the production of collagen so that the skin looks immaculate whatever its needs may be. 110 / ELEGA NT TR AV EL GR EECE

The Motley GOAT ࡙୷ܲੂ൧
A CONCEPT DESIGN BRAND WHICH OFFERS A RANGE OF HIGH QUALITY, SUSTAINABLY MANUFACTURED PRINT GARMENTS WITH A LOT OF HUMOUR. OWNER MICHAIL-ALEXANDER PASSOS EXPLAINS HIS PHILOSOPHY.
he Motley Goat has deep roots in the Greek language and tradition. Actually, it is one of the most popular Greek expressions that is used to describe any incident ridiculous enough to make us laugh out loud. The Greeks say: «even the Motley Goat will laugh at this». The Motley Goat was established in Athens in 2015 as a concept design brand and since then, it has been exploring Greek heritage and sustainable craftsmanship in order to design and to create modern high end products that will address the global market. All the items in the collection are inspired by the registered and now recognizable logo, the motley goat, 114 / ELEGA NT TR AV EL GR EECE
which associates its Greek roots with a lot of humour. There is no doubt that the sight of each design brings a smile to the face of the beholder. Its purpose is to convey ideas and cause the much sought-after laughter, whether it’s a giggle, a smirk or grin, while thinking about some past experience in Greece. «Our philosophy is rooted in our passion for design innovation, sustainable manufacturing and the love for natural raw materials. The Motley Goat spreads a message of derision and subtle self-mockery, slightly provocative, but never mean, always with a sense of glamour», states the owner Michail-Alexander Passos.
