Fancy shmancy Kolonaki

Below are some pictures of my neighborhood in Athens, which is called Kolonaki. It's the nicest part of the city, and is full of beautiful apartment buildings, high end stores and tons of restaurants and cafes. Plus, I always run into impeccably dressed women walking frou frou little dogs in the middle of the day, which is always a good indicator of a neighborhood's economic situation.


The front entrance to my apartment building - to the immediate right is an adorable restaurant that serves amazing looking/smelling Greek food. I've yet to eat there, but I'm sure I will eventually.


The view of Athens looking down from my street - Kolonaki is at the top of a verrry steep hill. I'm standing on stairs, because at this point the street going up is too steep for cars.


This street is at the heart of Kolonaki, and is lined with little cafes and restaurants. I went looking for a cup of Greek coffee (my new favorite - so strong and so yummy), and some of these places were so chic that you couldn't get regular coffee, you could only get cappuccino.
