The Clumsies Athens.. A Greek Gem
On my second day in Athens I had one main goal… Total cultural immersion, and what better way to do this than the epic sites and local eats?! We started the day with a walk from our lodgings to the Acropolis ( this in itself will be a post ) .. and after we needed to cool down from the hike with a neighborhood jaunt. We decided to explore Omonoia & Plaka, conveniently nestled in between the two is The Clumsies . Now when you find out the World’s #3 Bar happens to be an all day bar… brunch commences!
I wont give too much away in this post, this establishment needs to be experienced in all its glory .. and coming from a city where cocktail prices range from $10-20.. I can say without a doubt The Clumsies is one of the best bars I’ve ever been to! The service was top notch , the vibe laid back and chill.. why can’t we have more places like this stated side ??
