Enjoy a picnic on the beach together

A basket of food, a blanket, a cooler with drinks and your hats. The beach zones of Athens are full of places where you can forget you are in the city, without having to climb or walk for miles. Fill the basket with cheeses, bread and crackers, tomatoes, cucumbers and olives, fill a taper with strawberries bathed in honey and orange juice and you are ready. A bottle of cool rosé goes with everything. If you don’t want alcohol, put tea or whatever herbs you want in a glass jug, fill it with water, cover it with plastic wrap and leave it in the sun for 1-2 hours. Transfer it to the fridge or thermos.
