RE: Athens—where are all the dicks?
another really amazing post! it was really well written than even though as a Greek knew most of it i read it all :P I won't argue much about Athens, even i that live on my life in here still don't know all the ''good'' places to go. It has way to many hidden gems, literally whatever comes into your mind but at the same time if you don't where to go aside of some typical tourist attraction then you might even hate it. There are places that are ghettos :P As for the dirt, although in our defense the garbage men were in strike :p still there is a lot of dirt. In a way many greeks think that tossing garbage to the ground and not in a bin it's an ''ok'' to do so that says a lot :P
I am glad you found Vegan food cause in Greece meat is like a national product :p For instance, if you were randomly asked me in the street for a vegan place i wouldn't have an answer but if you wanted souvlaki a million places :p
Thank you. That's a great compliment for me then. I think everywhere has hidden gems. But they are hidden so unless you find them you never know. As for the vegan places, Michael the guide told us that most of them are fairly new and have only popped up in the past 3 years or so. But it's good to see.
