Things To Do

Alex took Mattie to Greece for the first time in 2022, for his god sister Ariana's wedding - at the same venue! Before Ariana's wedding, they explored the island of Milos together, doing what they do best: swimming in sea caves with Skipper Al, finding secret beaches, and cliff jumping. When they returned to Athens for the wedding, they stayed in Vouliagmeni and shared a memorable dinner at Rafale Al Nikolas. Mattie grew closer to Alex and his family during the days that followed, spending days at the beach and nights celebrating the wedding until the late hours. Below we've added a few of our favorite places and things to do, to share a piece of our Athens memories with you!

TYLIXTO VOULIAGMENI

15 Agiou Panteleimonos, Vouliagmeni, 166 71, Greece

A great casual spot for Greek gyros, salads and mezethes, in a prime location. Vegetarian/vegan/gluten free friendly and one of Mattie & Alex's favorite lunch spots. You can walk there from The Margi or The Roc Club.

The Temple of Poseidon and Cape Sounion

Cape Sounion,, Sounio, 195 00, Greece
