At home in ATHENS

Everyone knows Athens, but few actually see it. This riso-printed pocket guide skips the hype in favor of the city’s humane scale and hidden depth.

Athens is a city that more and more people wish to call home, valuing its humane scale and density of layers. It seems there are no secrets to visitors anymore; all has been exposed. This has created the perfect window for me to reveal my favorite locations, with the proven safety that people will always hunt for the cool first, and only see the genuine one later. Walk with me through patchworked forgotten passageways, to discover together the best spots to walk and write, in a city that still feels like home.

Inside, you’ll find:

My quiet ritual: The classics I use on my everyday, to work, socialize and pause.
6 neighborhoods: Walkable routes to explore the main Athenian areas at your own pace.
Creative sanctuaries: My favorite spots to sit, write, and observe – even in the move.
Local spaces: Shops and spaces chosen for their grit, grace, and atmosphere.
Extra: Same as Athens, this is a dense guide in pocket size, to always carry with you and at times use it as your selfie backdrop, marking any view as a "desired landscape".

I’ve done the filtering for you, so you can skip the hype and go straight to the heart of the city.
