    Festival of the Panagia

    Posted by djak 12 June 2006

    If you are on Paros in August don’t miss the festival on the 15th, when everyone with anything vaguely seaworthy heads out into the bay armed with flares and fireworks for the Festival of the Panagia.

    Paros

    Posted by djak 10 June 2006

    An island with something for everyone; cool, cosmopolitan Naoussa, with its bustling nightlife and beautiful warren of twisting, quintessentially Greek streets; picturesque Lefkes tucked into a valley in the mountains; and countless tiny villages dotted around a coastline that is blessed with some of the best beaches in Greece.

    Even Parikia, the once rather grotty port town, is re-emerging from its downmarket past and can't be beaten as the place to watch the sun slowly sink into the beautiful blue waters of the Aegean.

    Between three and five hours (or even longer if you take a G.A ferry) from Athens by sea, or half an hour by plane;

    Babagiannis

    Posted by djak 1 October 2005

    Old style taverna in the once run down but newly trendy area of Exarchia. Don't expect sophistication, this is simple traditional Greek food chosen by the time-honoured method of pointing at it behind the counter.

    Do expect however, a complete cross section of Greek society - from business men in suits to students to society kids from nearby Kolonaki - wonderful food, and a sense of the "real" Athens. A word of warning though, make sure you visit the toilet before you go as they too are of an authentic Greek nature.

    Expect to pay no more than 10 euro a head for salad, main course and a beer.
