Pick an area

That’s usually where the good stuff is.

Coffee, small shops, dinner, then drinks by the water.

Come hungry. Stay for the bars, record shops and ferry ride home.

Breakfast, steep streets, cats and a long table outside.

Or start with the plan

Concerts, openings, late tables and somewhere for one more drink.

Lokantas, meze and the places locals keep going back to.

A good breakfast, proper coffee and no need to rush.
