This is not exactly a wine bar; It's a café, but it boasts a selection of about 70 different beers, bottled and on tap, and aboout 80 different wine labels. They are open after 8-9 in the morning and won't close before 2am. The setting is excellent, beautiful flowers everywhere, prices are alright.

Parks & Nature
Just a couple of hundred meters away from our front door you enter a park where you might walk around to relax and occasionally even watch the odd AIKIDO practicioners playing with swords or sticks! You can jog, walk, or cycle. It's not very big, but makes all the difference in the area!

This is a posh restaurant just next to the flat. A number of well known chefs have created this place and the food quality is top-notch. If you see a security detail around it, is because some minister of the government or famous person is having dinner, so don't worry.

City/town information
Well this is by far the easiest island to travel to from Athens. Take the blue metro line to Piraeus (about 25m) and just buy a ticket to Aegina. You should be there in around an hour or so. Cute little island for both a day trip or to stay. Swim, have dinner or coffee. The place is so near and yet feels so far! Don't forget to try Aegina's famous Pistachios!
