Music
Sen Gelmez Oldun – Alihan Samedov
I am so much in love with this exotic & atmospheric song! I heard it while driving and I cannot stop thinking of it ever since.
Sunset in Aegean – Dim Angelo & Alez Mihalakis ft. Christos Papadopoulos
Based on the song Archipelagos performed by Paschalis Terzis this outstanding instrumental adaptation brings a more modern and relaxing tone while maintaining the melody of the origianl song.
My Jamaican Dream – Ian Ikon ft. Maria Zlatani
Another atmospheric song with summer vibes that is ideal to listen while relaxing by the beach while sipping a cold beverage.
New Light – John Mayer
This 2018 song by the talented John Mayer has the unique ability to cheer me up whenever I feel down while also restoring my motivation levels.
The Safety Dance – Men WIthout Hats
Ok this remix is the ultimate party song. Based on the 1982 song by Men Without Hats it brings a more celebrational vibe and it’s the perfect option for a fun club eperience (or an entrance to the mall).

Shops
Charlie D. Brasserie
Recently I visited Thessaloniki (a city in Northern Greece) and I discovered this cute brasserie just a few steps away from the hotel in which I was staying. With pink aesthetic and a Parisian taste it stood out from other nearby shops and it pffered a great selection of dishes for breakfast/brunch.
