4th century BC, it has been restored twice and can seat 70,000 spectators.

The ancient games were held at this stadium every 4 years, and the prize for the winner of a particular discipline was an amphora with 36 litres of olive oil. If one person won in all disciplines, he could win as many as 144 amphorae of top-quality olive oil. Who would compete for olive oil today?? Imagine the news: Ronaldo or Luka Modric, the best world football p s, winning 200 amphorae of oil!

Loving family

A juice shop to-go, with extremely low prices for drinks and snacks! The idea of creating this store and the way it functions bloomed within the financial crisis and relies on the notion of ‘helping each other’. Loving Family reminds us that within the crisis, we should support each other and be one of this large family in order to survive together. The prices of this store are incredibly low and the products are top quality. We had a large freshly-squeezed orange juice for only 50 cents. The address is Akadimias 97, Athens.

Healthy Bites

Healthy Bites is a cozy place to eat plates of delicious vegan food in the heart of the city. Food is served quick because it is already cooked, so if you like healthy vegan food but also don’t want to waste time, this place is a good choice. They offer vegan versions of Greek traditional food. We had a delicious moussaka and burgers. The address: Panepistimiou 25, Athens 10564, Greece. When you are already there, you can just cross the street and visit a Greek trilogy: National Library - University - Academy of Athens. Since the children have asked philosophy questions from the moment they started to speak, they had to meet the biggest philosophers of all times; Socrates and Plato.

Beaches

Half an hour drive from the city centre, you can find decent beaches. Maybe one of the best for the children is Voula beach, with shallow, clear water and umbrellas. It also has clean toilets, free wifi, chairs, and a bar.
