Welcome to my hometown Athens, a city that seamlessly blends ancient history with modern vibrancy. This three-day adventure is designed to help you make the most of your time in this captivating Greek capital. From exploring the iconic Acropolis and its awe-inspiring monuments to savoring traditional cuisine in charming neighborhoods, and immersing yourself in Athens' lively nightlife, you'll discover the diverse facets that make this city truly special.
This guide is divided into the following categories:
1. what to do for each day (archeological sites, neighborhoods you need to visit, activities to do)
2. where to eat & drink (includes 6 restaurants, 6 all-day cafes/bars),
3. where to party (nightlife in Athens).
It is suitable for both winter and summer visitors.
A curated list of recommendations like this unlike an itinerary offers flexibility and allows travelers to choose based on their available time. However, the way I listed the activities by day allows for a manageable time-based plan.
It includes a map and insight notes such as a place description, the address, the opening hours, the ticket prices, the official website to book your tickets (If needed), and some tips for your visit.
Make sure to also check my Athens Riviera FREE Guide, if you are visiting Athens during the summer.

Bordeaux is the wine capital of France (and arguably the world) - so it's easy to get overwhelmed by the sheer number of wine bar options!
Whether it's your first time or you're a connoisseur looking to deepen your experience, below is a local's honest guide to the most well-known and adored wine bars in Bordeaux.
Wherever you choose to go, you'll not be disappointed by the quality of the wine, and there are less tourist traps than you would think. People in France take pride in their wine and local sellers expect that tourists may be experienced in tasting.
As a little pro tip, it's good to remember that 2014, 2015 and 2022 were good years for wine production in the region.
Get ready to enjoy your reds, whites or rosés as an aperitif or with dinner and remember to drink responsibly!

I love Tangier. In a country where "relaxing" and "cities" don't usually mix, the Mediterranean air, sandy beaches, and craggy cliffs gives Tangier a certain laissez-faire vibe that Marrakesh, Fez, or Casablanca could only dream of. I like to say it's as though Morocco, France, and Spain had a baby featuring each country's best parts. It doesn't matter if you're in the old parts of the Kasbah or Medina, the Corniche, or in the west by Cap Spartel. It's magnificent.
In this article, I (hope to) show off the best sites of Tangier by location along with some good points about logistics and hotel recommendations. Need anything more? Feel free to reach out via my page or via my website!

Experience this Mediterranean seaport city along with hillside villages nestled into cliffs.
The city we call Genoa in English is Genova in Italian. This maritime city is the regional capital city of Liguria along Italy’s northern Mediterranean coastline, bordered by the Côte D'Azur of France and Monaco to the west, where the Alps meet the sea.
As a Mediterranean region, Liguria is known for fresh produce and seafood with a variety of cheese produced in its coastal hills. The high-speed train takes just over 1-1/2 hours from Turin.
