The last weekend of October I found myself in Athens. Much earlier than expected thanks to #theathensworld team who invited me to celebrate the World Cities Day together with them and many other Instagrammers.

How to spend a weekend in Athens

Once I arrived at the Athens International Airport, the taxi driver brought me directly to Kolonaki where I had dinner with the whole group who was already there.

Long weekend in Athens: The best tips

We kicked off the next day with a visit at The Museum of Cycladic Art. Afterwards, we walked around the city center and headed to the area of Plaka where several street events and celebrations of all kinds were happening at different spots around the city center.

Weekend in Athens: 48 hours in Athens

The weekend in Athens was just awesome, although the weather could have been a little bit warmer. Nevertheless I had a great time, I made new friends, ate the best food and gave a small interview to MTV Greece.

Sunday was a free day. I had the chance to see friends and family again.

Highlight of the trip to Athens

Highlight of the whole trip was the taxi driver who picked me up from the airport. Mr. Stavros is  exactly the person you want to wait for you in the airport! He was very kind and had nice stories to tell.

He even brought the previous guests to the Lykabettus, after they landed in Athens, so that they can get a first impression of the capital from above, although he didn’t have to.

What a warm welcome in the city of Athens. That is what we call… the Greek Hospitality.

Have you ever heard of that saying: once a year go somewhere that you have never been to before? Miami was that place for me this year.

However Miami was not just one more travel destination; it was a once in a lifetime experience. Miami was another world, a new one and very different from Vienna. The language, currency, weather, people, landscape, architecture. Everything was different. Αnd I think that is what makes a city fascinating. At least to my eyes.

6 days in Miami

Within 6 days I tried to make the most of it. I tried to explore the city the best I could because truth is I don’t know if I will ever get back to Miami. Of course I wish, especially now that I know some lovely people who live there.

For that reason, I made a list of things to do in Miami before I got there to make sure that I will not miss anything during my visit.

What to do in Miami

I explored big the touristy part of Miami South beach on a pink bicycle. For the other part of the city, the less touristy, I used Uber and I had friends giving me rides. One thing to mention was that, to my surprise, I felt pretty safe. I felt safe going around Miami Beach with my bicycle despite my initial thoughts and concerns caused by the fact of being there alone. I‘ve been to the US two times in the past, but I was always together with friends. This was a solo trip to Miami, with occasionally meeting friends here and there, mostly on dinner time.

My stay in Miami

Therefore, my stay in Miami wasn’t actually holidays and relaxing. It was more sightseeing, going from one place to another and taking pictures all the time. Many pictures, from the sunrise till the sunset. It wasn’t an easy task. I was not familiar to the city and I didn’t know where to start and what to shoot (so many options haha).

But I managed to take around 2.500 photos. Some of them will be published on The Viennese Girl blog and there are already many photos on Instagram.

Overall, I would love to return to Miami. Especially during that period of time, when it’s cold in Europe and warm there.

I am both glad and grateful having had the chance to experience and fly with Austrian Airlines on their first flight to that city.

On the way back to Vienna, I had the honor to experience the business class for the first time in my life. Oh, gosh! If the business class is like this, so comfortable and pleasant, I wouldn’t mind flying around the globe twice drinking champagne above the clouds haha…
