Our first stop is inherently Athens, Greece the place where Yatzer matured from a personal blog into a global influencer. It also happens to be one of the most stimulating and totally unpredictable places in the world. Within the space of one day, you can flip through your book in an elevated glass-walled reading room with a 360° view of the city, feast on a gourmet installation in the shape of an edible flower pot and haggle over the price of miniature Cretan olives at the Central Market. You can ponder your views on mortality while sipping coffee at a clandestine Museum Café with a view of an ancient Greek cemetery after you eat at Nelson Mandela’s favorite fish restaurant.
Admittedly, looking beyond the obvious isn’t going to be easy: there’s the Acropolis constantly flashing her marbled smile; the historical center posing as the definitive time warp; the Ancient Agora echoing oratorical inspiration from the distant past, plus a sprinkling of lesser-known ruins confirming the city’s well-known status as a historical heavyweight. But then there’s a nucleus of emerging talent, creating pockets of contemporary luxury, perfectly balanced with tried and true local favorites that will inspire you to build a long-lasting relationship with the city. Athens never claimed to be the easiest place to explore but it does claim to have it all. And Yatzer’s CITY EXPERIENCES is here to help you discover it.
