Athens part 1

End of October me and my two friends had girls trip to Athens. That was my first holiday that wasn't to Finland or Cyprus! It was just what we needed and I had so much fun there. We were staying there for 4 nights.

We were staying in this hotel called Stanley which was located in Karaiskaki Square. The location of the hotel was actually very good even though it wasn't exactly in the city center. The metro station was right next to our hotel and it took us only few minutes to get to the city center which was decent. The metro tickets were 1.40 for one way. We ended up using taxi a lot, and the prices were not that expensive,I think.

We had breakfast included and the first day we were having our breakfast with the lower class but then we got our room upgraded, thanks to my friends, so we ended up getting upgraded breakfast too ! They got pretty large selection of everything so I would definitely recommend taking breakfast as well. The hotel had swimming pool and rooftop bar with this amazing view to Acropolis!

Our first day in Athens was very interesting. As usual, something had to go wrong! As soon as we landed, we went to this shopping village called McArthur Glen. It was very nice place but you need more than one day to see everything. They had all kind of designer outlets like Nike, Adidas, Tommy Hilfiger,  Marco Polo, Guess etc. I definitely recommend it for everyone visiting Athens! It wasn't enough that we were all dead from the trip and all that shopping, but the day we arrived in Athens happened to be the day when the Metro was out of use due to some strike. We had to take the bus and change it few times to get to Syntagma. Little did we know that the buses would be so full that you wouldn't even have enough space to breath. The bus drive took us about 4 hours and I was kind of getting a minor panic attack as people were pushing each other and no one could move. That's how crazy it was. In the end we got to Syntagma and from there we took taxi to our hotel only to find out that the room we booked was not what we had expected. That's why the next day they gave us a much better room !

On our first night I went to meet my friend who I had not seen for quite a long time. We went to this bar where you could see Acropolis and man it was amazing! He couldn't have chosen a better place to take me hahah! After that I met with the girls and we went to the Gazi to have some dinner. Honestly, I've never had better gyros than in that place! I just cant remember the name of that restaurant. 

We were so tired after all that travelling so after our dinner we head back to the hotel and went to sleep.

Back on track

It's been way too long since I last wrote here. I'm not even sure anymore how to start this thing.
I've missed blogging so much but I just kind of lost my motivation at one point. I had so many things going on in my life that I didn't have the time or energy to start writing. Although now that I'm thinking, maybe blogging would have helped me but anyways, I'm back ! And hopefully for long time haha.

2017 went past way too fast! It was one of the best and worst years of my life so far. I grew up so much as a person during last year and I am planning on continuing that self development even more this year. I can say I'm definitely much happier now that I was in the beginning of 2017.   I have my friends by my side, I finally found peace in my life, I have a job that I like and my studies are still going well (hopefully haha will get the results in week, eek!)

I still haven't complete decided what I will do with my blog. Maybe I will write more personal stuff here as I believe it might be helpful for people going through the same things I went trough. On the other hand I would like to make this blog fashion/beauty/travel related so we will see about that. Only time will tell haha!

That's it for now.
