- Join us today when we are exploring Kifissia in north Athens. Kifissia is a really nice neighborhood and we love to explore the northern suburbs of Athens. We walk around in the beautiful neighborhood that looks like Beverly Hills, some people call it Athens Beverly Hills☺️ We also visit a patisserie/cafe called Varsos and later we go for Italian food at a restaurant called La Pasteria.

That's so nice!😅😍 Thank you so much for watching❤️
Hi girls, I mean hi again, no need to say that I am a fanatic follower of all your videos, which I find really interesting, as they show my city and my country in an objective way, through the eyes of a foreigner living in Greece. Some time ago I commented on your video about “the pro and cons of Greece” and truth is that I may have sounded a bit, just a bit, scornful of it, considering some of your comments a little superficial, yet, let me say that I really do appreciate your overall sincerity and the fact that you are here with us. Thank you!!! Now few comments about your Kifisia video: Look, Kifisia “is not different from Greece”, actually it’s very much “Greece”, after all Greece has so many faces being 80% of an alpean landscape and not just beaches, islands and sun! . The truth is that Kifisia is a lucky Athenian suburb which was not destroyed or demolished during the catastrophic years of the recent Greek history that brought about the destruction of the rest of the city during the post ww2 and the civil war that followed it, years. All of Athens was a fantastic neoclassical city as Placa and the remaining buildings of its center testify. So, its rather the rest of the city that “does not look like Greece” and not vice versa. But yes, of course i do understand what you mean. I also understand why you compare Kifisia with Beverly Hills, yet the real sort of Beverly Hills like Athens suburb is not Kifisia, it’s Ekali, located few klms further north, where the rich people of Athens have their mansions. Kifisia is more, let’s say a suburb-museum, where Athenians traditionally go to walk around, have a drink or dinner/lunch, breath its fresh air, and sort of remember how more beautiful their city could have been. And yes, it’s expensive to live there, but it’s not a mainly residential area we’re talking about since the house offer is practically not existing. At any case, far as I know the most expensive areas in Athens far as housing is concerned are the ones around Vouliagmeni. Thank you again girls, keep up this way, and as I have already suggested some time ago, take the metro to all directions , get off in different stations, and show how decent all more or less the neighborhoods of Athens, the more or less or least glamorous ones are! Regards and best wishes!!
Hi!😃 Thank you so much for your comment🥰 and thank you for letting us know a little bit more about Kifissia and Greece🇬🇷 We appreciate it💕
Next time in Kifissia, you should absolutely visit the Goulandris Natural History Museum. It's a must.
Oooh thank you for the tip!😍🇬🇷
Flower Exhibition an institution that was born in 1937.The Flower Exhibition of the Municipality of Kifissia is the largest and most recognizable in the field of Greek floriculture. It is an important commercial event that attracts thousands of visitors every year, professionals and amateurs of green and flower lovers, who combine their walk in a beautiful area - with their purchases of floriculture and horticulture items and products. It is usually held around the end of April until mid of May.
Thank you so much for this information😍 We were really curious about the "flower show", it sounds very nice😊 We have to check it out🌺
Wawwwwwww it's so beautiful side of Athens.. I visited that place in summer 🌞 and we were shocked 😳 as you said that we really feel we are not in Athens mostly the style of the streets are totally different than the rest of the city.. very nice clean and so so green 🍏 thank you dears was nice video 📸
Thank you so much🥰 Yes, it's absolutely beautiful in Kifissia, we really loved it there🌺🌿🌳❤️🇬🇷😊
Next time try Vouliagmeni. It's the closest thing to Beverly Hills and its by the sea (and a lake).
Thank you for the tip😃 It would be so nice to visit Vouliagmeni lake!🥰
Kifissia is known as the capital of North Athens. All North suburbs for me are just another level compared to other places and neighborhoods of Athens. Also I grew up on the North side and I know these places really well. You can't even imagine how rich people are in the north. Famous singers, TV personalities,actors, politicians, even the Prime minister. Athletes, ambassadors , doctors, lawyers. The Greek high society at its best. Other suburbs have even more expensive cars, villas and other facilities but it doesn't have the Kifissias market, fancy restaurants and bars. Also North is greener indeed. It rains more than the center of Athens or South suburbs. And it's just half an hour away. Also is cooler in summer (but not that much) and colder in winter. Snow actually in Kifissia and surrounding areas is not that uncommon. Usually it snows 2-3 times every winter( except this abnormal year).As a lover of greenery and cold I would every day prefer the northern side that the south one. But it's just me🤣
PS: Kifissia 50 years ago was like fairytale. And yes it's varsos you said it right. I think it's a bit overrated but ok
Thank you so much for telling us a little bit more about Kifissia🥰 We also loved that it was so green there🌳🌿😊
tbh the only area that reminds me of the north in the Western suburbs is Haidari, and especially Dasos.
Magnificent presentation of Kifisia ladies!!!! Back, in my university years, it was a suburb that I was visiting regularly. I will probably sound cynic, but beauty in architecture, streets, cars goes alongside wealth.I don't know about you, but i am glad that winter, has finally arrived🌧🌧🌧 .Regards from Adamantas, Milos.
Thank you so much🥰 Kifissia is a very beautiful place💕 Yes, winter has arrived now☔ but we prefer summer😅☀️🌡️ Have a wonderful weekend in beautiful Milos💙
Thank you girls for showing the beauties of our country
Thank you for watching🥰🥰🥰🇬🇷
Met one of you this weekend you guys rock!
Thank you so much!🥰🥰🥰
there are other areas north of Kifissia(Dionysos,Ekali,Nea Erythraia)that are more expensive,but the transportation is difficult
Thank you for your comment🥰 it would be nice to visit those places too😃🇬🇷
brings back memories when i was there
It's a beautiful place🥰🥰🥰
If you liked Kifissia, surprise surprise you got to visit 3 or 4 more areas near Kifissia. That is Erythraia, Politeia Kefalari and finally Psixiko ( Ψυχικό ). Τhese are similar or even better suburbs of Athens. Generally all areas near mountains like Parnitha or Pentelikon (mountain which has a quarry of marble where the marbles of Acropolis came from) or even Ymittos in which vegetation and trees like pines still exist comprise a totally different environment than the city of Athens. That's why many villas have been constructed on them where the rich Greeks live in Athens.
Oooh thank you so much for your tips!😍 Very interesting! We have to visit these places too😃❤️
καλημερα κοριτσια πολυ ωραιο βιντεο μπραβο η αθηνα εχει υπεροχα μερη παντου τα δειχνετε πολυ ωραια φιλια πολλα αναμονη καινουργιο βιντεο σε αλλη περιοχη [giorgos sifo] το ονομα μου kissssssses

You should have tried Varsos spinach pie and cheese pie!!!all time classic!!
Oooh we have to try that next time!😍 Thank you for the tip💙
Very good video bravo
Thank you Costa!😃❤️
its actually a Bazaar with flowers.Also in Kalamata from where i came from(live in Athens,Galatsi) the cars also stop for the pedestrians.
Thank you for the clarification about the flower show🥰🌸🌼🌻🌺 Oooh it's so nice that the cars stop for the pedestrians in Kalamata too😍 wish it was like that evereywhere🙃 Thank you for watching!🥰🇬🇷
In Kalamata when I said to the driver of the car that it is green for me, he responded 'for me too' and did not stop in front of me...quite dangerous for me as a pedestrian
Well, kifisia people can actualy trade the sea with a cool pool in the back yard 😊
That's true!😍👌

Hello girls..
Kifissia was the holiday resort of the Athenians ... of course the rich Athenians ..in late 19 century and early 20 century
To go to Athens by car at the beginning of the 20th century, it was an hour by car...and the road was small and most for the horse carriages....and no cars ...
( Very small number of cars exist in Greece this period and i mean early 20 century)
In Kifissia was the house of Prime Minister Ioannis Metaxas in 1940... there the Italian ambassador visited him in the early morning of 10/28 to deliver the Italian ultimatum...
Metaxas' reply to the Italian ambassador (for the record) as soon as he read it not "no"...( OΧΙ ) but in French he told him "so we have a war"
Prime minister???
He was a dictator...
Hello!😃 Thank you so much for all this information and history of Kifissia, very interesting😊❤️🇬🇷
rich people place
Yeah😅 but very nice area💙
Very nice place....as both of you!!!!
My recomadation for next destination by train is chalkida....I hope you to visit it....also for summer is very nice.
Thank you so much🥰🥰🥰 Ooh Chalkida would be very nice to visit! Yes maybe in the spring/summer would be great😍💙🇬🇷
@@athenswives ipokampos beach is one from the famous....also the beauty of euripos strait....
Oooh thank you for the tip!😍🏖️
The northern and southern suburbs are for the midle class and rich mostly, the west is for midle class and poor.. That's Athens. You have to visit Neon Iraklion, Marousi, and Metamorfosi also, they are amazing areas in northern suburbs
And please visit the Αλσος Φιλαδελφεια... You will remember me!
Thank you so much for your tips!😍 We have noted them down🥰✍️
Check out Chalandri you will love it.
We were thinking to visit Chalandri soon😍 If you have any tips on what to see or do there feel free to share😁 or maybe tips on places to eat😋 Filakia💕
NORTH ATHENS IS A LITTLE MORE COMPATIBLE AND MORE ATTRACTIVE WHEN SNOWING-ICE, GENERALLY AT COLD WEATHER CONDITIONS.CHEERS!!!
We can imagine that Kifissia is very cozy and beautiful with snow😍❄️❄️❄️☃️☃️☃️
What I heard is that the rich have winter houses there, and summer house in Glyfada...
Aah okey😊 thank you for sharing💙 and thank you for watching💙
KIFISIA IS THE TOWN OF THE RICH MEN
Very nice neighborhood😍
SOME GUYS FROM THE NETHERLANDS 70 YEARS AGO DID THE FLOWER THING HERE IN KIFISIA
Really!😃 It would be so nice to see it in the spring💐🌸🌺
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️
Hej, Victoria and Helene! I discovered your channel about a week ago and since then i have watched a lot of your videos! They are quite interesting! I have to tell you that i admire Scandinavia since my adolesence (today i am 50) but i have never been there by today! I love the mentality of people there and the good organization of the Scandinavian states which is missing a lot unfortunately here in Greece. Although i was born and raised in Pangrati i never liked Athens and i decided to move to Corinth 7 years ago. I suggest visiting Pangrati which is very close to the Panathenaic stadium and Loutraki later in the year (for example in spring) which is near the Corinth Canal. You can reach Loutraki only by bus of KTEL Korinthias. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask me (i am a tour guide)! Hej do, girls!
Hi!😃 Thank you so much for your comment❤️ It would be really nice to visit Pangrati😍 and also Corinth and Loutraki! Thank you for your tips🥰🇬🇷
Funny greek diction.lovely.
Thank you😃💕
KORITSIA GO TO VOULIAGMENI YOU WILL LOVE THE PLACE
Thank you😃 We love Vouliagmeni!❤️

You didnt show us any of the beautiful residential homes, the mansions, the estates in Kiffisia. You should go again and go into the residential parts. You talk about it but you barely showed us anything except for your lovely faces. LOL. Do it again. Part 2 please.
Thank you for your feedback💕 Maybe there will be a part 2😊 Merry Christmas✨🎅
Good job ladies. So that’s where the rich Greeks hide eh?…Oups…. i mean live lol. Been there a couple times, very nice indeed!
