After attending once again the Travel Bloggers Event at TTG held in Rimini, we decided to spend a little time exploring this coastal city. It was not an easy decision. Rimini that we knew (though only by reputation) was related with the worst aspects of mass tourism. It was definitely a place that we never expected to find ourselves. The fact that it was off season (the second week of October) and of course our curiosity helped us change our mind. And we didn’t regret it!

Athens, National Glyptotheque and a stopover
If you are looking for ‘hidden gems’ in Athens, this is a place to consider. It is one of the lesser known spots but worth visiting, especially if you call yourself art lover or you just want to gain a quick insight into the contemporary Greek art, sculpture and painting. The museums are located a bit far from the city center, but close to a metro station. Extra bonuses: a pedestrian bridge by Calatrava on your way and a parking that would be convenient as a stopover.
Athens Urban Gallery
We spent a day strolling through the narrow streets of downtown Athens and we present you why Greece’s capital is currently considered the Mecca of street art in Europe. Far from being vandals, the Greek street artists have converted the dull city walls into an open-air gallery. Of course it’s not about embellishment. They use vivid colors and create strange shapes to express their anger and to raise awareness on social issues. Enjoy their artworks!
