Some restaurants lure you with location. Others, with spectacle. And then there are those places that don’t need to shout, like Patio Dining.

Built in 1846 and re-imagined in 2024, Lamda Casual Dining occupies a lovingly restored home with a sun-faded stone façade, situated directly at the water’s edge in the heart of Vasiliki.

Located in the airport’s Non-Schengen area, this is the flagship lounge of AEGEAN’s growing ambitions — not just a resting spot, but a statement. Once you’ve meandered your way through the shops, following the business lounge signs, it opens at 5:00 am and runs until 1:00 am. It’s a lounge that cuts through the chaos […]
Barcelona buzzes during the summer with its lovely beaches and sun-bathed streets. With all that mentioned, it is nice to have some places that are cool and not exposed to the heat as the Mediterranean sun becomes more intense.
