Now Talisker 10y/o is by all accounts a great dram, HOWEVER, it is not representative of what one would call Scotch whisky. I understand you are from Germany. To make an analogy, Icewine is amazing, but it is not representative of what wine is, or what German wine is...
My parents live in Glyfada and I lived there until uni, and then again from 2005-2010. Back then it was a pretty cool place to hang out, but it fizzled out after 2010. Still a great place to live, but all the fun places to hang out have moved to the center of Athens.

Looks is half the deal, but I also want them for driving around with the top down in my little Miata.
Any help would be more than welcome
I have a small collection of mechanical watches.
An Omega Seamaster, a Steinhart OVM, a Borealis Omega 300 homage, an orient Bambino dress watch, but my favourite by far is the Longines Legend Diver
