General musings of my family trip to Greece in late February, 2023. We spent the majority of our time in Athens, but also did an overnight on the island of Aegina, which was a treat. This post includes my video thoughts of the trip as a whole, supplemented with some random videos & pictures I shot during the trip.

Below are some useful links to things that I may or may not have referenced in the video. The links are just links, not affiliate links.

Restaurants we tried:

El Greco - probably one of the best meals we had:   / elgrecorestaurantcoffee  

Belpaise - https://belpaese.gr/ - super fresh italian food, great people there.

Little Kook - Great place to take the kids for a sweet treat:   / littlekookgr  

Cafe Plaka - great place for breakfast, or to just hang out on their rooftop for a cup of coffee:   / cafe_plaka  

Convenience Store - visit Dimitri, the absolute nicest greek man I've ever met. He's got all the basics you need, souvenirs, chocolates, drinks....visit him and his brother Adriano - https://www.google.com/maps/place/Con...

On Aegina:

Remvi Cafe - https://remvi.net/ - delicious food. Try anything with pistachio!

Find the Black Cat - they call it a steakhouse, but it's not. It's just a place to get some traditional cheap gyros and a ridiculously low cost.

Buy pistachios, and especially try the pistachio butter. Buy some....buy more than you think you should, because you'll regret it later.
