But remember that Athens is not just about antiquity, Athens will offer you plenty of opportunities to savour the best of the traditional Greek cuisine. Kalambaka is a picturesque town with narrow cobble-stoned streets and traditional houses, some of them built right next to the rocks and has a long tradition in the production of hand-made, wood-carved objects, but also in the making of religious icons that are painted by domestic artists. Some of the workshops are located outside the town’s centre. Don’t miss the opportunity to visit some of them. Welcome to Mykonos, the world´s biggest party island.
