Being handsome in Chalandri

Today I followed the footsteps of one of the three great tragedians of classical Athens, Euripides, to his birthplace Chalandri (Greek: Χαλάνδρι). It is a vivid northern suburb of Athens and it is located only about 12 kilometers from downtown of Athens.

The place has one of the highest ratios of greenery in Athens, but I was on my way to a bustling commercial center of Chalandri. It had all of the brands one can wish for and I found this little sign as a present for myself. ;P
