Good spot
Even in a suppressed economy, opportunity is everywhere. We meet the residents of Nicosia who are forging their own path and highlight cities on the up.
Port of call
Some cities have it all. So which ones are places that you never need leave? We visit three, starting with bustling Piraeus. It’s good for lots more than sea views and freshly caught fish.
Greece is the word
Following the debt crisis, an exodus of young talent left Greece. Now, an improving economy is luring expats home, armed with the skills and determination to lead the country’s revival.
Headline act
We visit a Greek newspaper staying healthy in an industry that many thought was dying. The cure? Better reporting, smarter stories and plenty of supplements.
In safe hands
The home of one of Portugal’s leading architects now belongs to a family friend and is a much-treasured modernist masterpiece.
Food & drink
Food finds, from an Aussie opening and a Beirut round-up to a British dairy and a Chicago bar.
Fashion
We ponder whether fashion brands can sell happiness, plus the best autumn/winter looks from Margaret Howell and New Zealand's Kowtow, among others.
At the feet of gods
Relaxed yet smart, Philopappou is a counterbalance to busy Athens life and attracts those seeking inspiration from its ethereal architecture.
