HAPPY HANUKKAH!
in Athens!
Christmas in Athens
It's (by far) the loveliest time of the year! Athens has an incredible array of events celebrating Christmas!
First of all, the whole city is full of bling bling! The Christmas lights turn every corner of Athens into a Christmas Wonderland!
Just stroll around our very own Omonoia Square, Syntagma square, and Ermou street and have your phone charged; every corner is instagrammable!
Why join in the city in the winter? Well, the local Christmas delicacies are a league of their own. The main dilemma is "melomakarona"or "kourabiedes" but honestly there is no reason for a dilemma. Both are exquisite! If you're here for the change of the year you will simply need to try "vasilopita", a traditional cake that is ceremoniously cut in pieces and one lucky winner gets a piece with a coin inside, signifying he/she will be fortunate throughout the whole year!
