... by walking into a recently opened shisha bar (or in Greek ναργιλε/nargile) at the Corithian Gulf, I meet Litsa. She is probably one of the sweetest people I have ever met.
On Monday I walk in there with Benji and she was working there; so kind, constantly asking if everything was ok and if we needed anything. After all we even got a free shisha for the time we were there. so nice. So two days later I walk in there again, because I had some time to kill, hoping she would be working again, but unfortunately she didn't. About two hours later though she walks in and her smile just brightened up my day. She directly greets me and sits next to me. The next thing I know is that we are already engaged in a conversation with two men from Qatar from our neighboring table. Litsa and I found out that they are two drivers from "RALLY ACROPOLIS" which is a famous car race in Greece.
Within the next hour Litsa invites me to her house in Athens for the day after and since Mohammed and Nasser (the Qatar drivers) were going to Athens anyways the next day they took us with them. We enjoyed another "Shisha" in Athens (in total there are 3 shisha bars like that of owned by the same guy, two in Athens and one in Korinthos now for the summer) and were picked up by Litsa's sister Vicky. At their house I was enjoying some nice pasta Litsa cooked and guess what?? it included Frankfurter sausages ;). Made me feel like home - if I hadn't felt like home already. At night Vicky, Litsa and Stelios (I am so sorry this is for sure not how you pronouns your name, but I will ask Litsa next time I see her and immediately correct it) took me to the roof top of the hotel "A for Athens" which had an incredible view on the Acropolis. We had the ultimate spot, where - and I still don't know why - nodody wanted to sit. Ok there was no table but it was like a podium with glass surrounded, so it was protected from the wind. GREAT! :)
We sipped a cocktail, made acquaitance we a Dutch and a Swiss guy, ate some frozen joghurt and went back to their place. I am still impressed how quickly this friendship developed, because it feels like I know Litsa already for a lot longer.
I am thanking both of them, her and her sister - Vicky - for the great hospitality and of course Stelios for his company. I had a wonderful time with you all of you!!!!!

1. Athens city center is like a maze to me and probably always will be
2. The Akropolis steals your breath when you see it at night, it looks so magical
