Bookshop Cafés In Athens You Will Fall In Love With
Autumn may not be the flashiest of the four seasons, but it is nonetheless the best. There’s something unique about the season of cozy rediscovery, be it the warm color palette of reds, oranges, and browns, the sound of crunching leaves, the crisp air, the rain; it’s the season for all senses. 
 
One of fall’s greatest pleasures is definitely cuddling up with a good book, all while watching the rain and sipping a cup of hot coffee or tea. And although there is no place like home, if you feel like going out without having to sacrifice your comfort and coziness, these bookshop cafes are what you need!
