Monday to Sunday Athens is the second book of our travel series, Monday to Sunday Book, offering a week of curated experiences in destinations known for their originality and diversity. Istanbul was the first in our series, and after its warm reception, we are excited to present Athens as the next destination, a city with a new story to share.

Many travelers may expect Athens to be defined by its ancient ruins, with the Acropolis looming over the city. Yet, Athens is a place where past and present coexist, sometimes in tension, but always in a way that sparks curiosity. Here, life spills into the streets—whether it's a conversation across a balcony, a spontaneous street performance, or an intimate moment at a kafeneio. From the warmth of the sun to the simple gestures of locals, Athens speaks a language of emotion that extends beyond its monuments. Monday to Sunday Athens captures this contemporary spirit.

The book focuses on seven days of immersion in the culture, history, art, design, gastronomy, and entertainment of Athens, accompanied by beautiful photography: The Revived Metropolis on Monday; Athens Through the Millennia on Tuesday; Quarters of Modernity & Arts on Wednesday; Nea-Athens on Thursday; Attica Riviera on Friday; The Lush North on Saturday; and Hydra: Life on an Island on Sunday.

In this book, editor and travel journalist Seda Domaniç teams up with Yannis Zaras, a native Athenian deeply connected to the city’s rich hospitality, specializing in historical, architectural, and culinary experiences, as well as large-scale cultural events and festivals. Together, they are joined by talented photographers and a creative design team who capture the spontaneous and magnetic soul of Athens, revealing a fresh perspective on this ancient city. The book also features personal insights and recommendations from 30 remarkable Athenians—chefs, designers, artists, journalists, historians, architects, and entrepreneurs—each sharing their deep knowledge of Greek culture and adding a unique touch to the city's enduring charm.
