...Cinemas in Athens are really nice, especially during the summer!
In Greece we have two types of cinemas, the winter-spring ones and the summer ones.The first are run from begining of September until end of May and the summer ones from end of May until end of August.
The unique thing about the summer ones is that are open roof!!!open blue Greek sky!!!! it's a kind of magic! the atmosphere is really nice you will see families,couples,friends.
You can find these cinemas everywhere during the summer months,most of them because they are open seasonal they came very near to close some years ago but now most of them are council sponsored or big companies like nescafe aabora.
The ticket is very cheap £3 and in the bar you can find everything from beer to nachos! also in very good prices.

Advantages: Warm, Dry, Basic Disadvantages: Not exactly value for money
...'s a ''breakfast bar" style table, an open wardrobe, a chair, a single bed and a sofa bed. Oh, the lap of luxury!
The wardrobe lacks a door, by design. It's not unlike one of Handy Andy's creations on TV's "Changing Rooms", only with magnolia pine melamine rather than MDF. And they call this progress. There's a clothes rail with no less than eight affixed hangers. Oh, and there's a shelf.

Advantages: nice outside the peak season Disadvantages: can't imagine being there during the peak season
...in Heraklion, a 10 minute bus ride away, tourists nearly always see both sites so that a reduced combi ticket is offered, a single ticket for Knossos is 6 €, a single ticket for the museum 5 €, the combi ticket costs 10 € / concessions minus 2 € (open from 8.30 am to 3 pm [winter season]). I doesn't matter in which order the tourists visit the palace and the museum, but only both together make the experience complete.
Not far from the museum is the Daedalou street (Odos Daedalou), a pedestrian precinct with souvenir shops, boutiques and jewellery shops (!), when we were at the Daedalus Gallery in the middle of the street we looked right and saw that we had hit on the meeting point of the Cretan jeunesse doree, there are five cafés, one beside the other, with tables and chairs on the pavement, occupied by twenty somethings drinking mostly nescafé...
