Romantic Shopping Stroll
If you find yourself in the center of Athens or some shopping center, most of the stores will probably have Winter and Valentine’s day sales! And there is nothing more romantic than exploring the small streets and alleys with local shops and art cafes! Walk down the famous Ermou with your loved one and the famous Greek Cappuccino Freddo in your hand. This is the day for relaxed window shopping and brunching!
A Romantic Movie Night Out
Rent a cozy cabin or stay at a romantic bed and breakfast or a luxury hotel and spend the evening cuddled up on the luxurious bed watching a romantic movie. Make it even more special by ordering room service with Valentine’s day special offer to dine together while sipping on wine. Secondly, visit some of the iconic cinemas you can find in the city center. Some of them will really bring back the nostalgia and the romance when you can kiss in the dark when no one is watching!

A Game Night
Stay in for a cozy game night and enjoy each other’s company over board games, card games, or video games. Even make it sexy and fun! Order in your favorite food and make a night of it. Make sure to play something you both love and enjoy. Or make your loved one happy by playing that video game you always said no to and just have fun with it! Make fun and unhealthy snacks with some jello shots, or some other type of “award” for every win!
Go to a Concert or Live Performance at a Club
Check for a concert or live performance of your favorite band, singer, or performer. Be spontaneous and just go for it! There is no need to plan too much ahead, as you can easily find a show or a club with some live performances if you’re in the city!
