The first really good weekend of spring is always a little reminder that with a nearby foray the mood can change noticeably. Attica offers many such options: archaeological sites by the sea, hiking trails in nearby hills, beaches that start to fill up and routes through the greenery that are completed in less than an hour. In these small escapes, in openings in the city and a little outside, from Marathon to Lavrio, Vouliagmeni and Ymittos, food always plays an important role. The ideas that follow combine walks in nature or in the city with good, affordable food, in taverns-classic values, fishmongers near small ports, perched on hills with a view, or hidden in special neighborhoods, but also new-mezeta shops that tread on familiar flavors, but also have something different.
