We love having a blast and not taking ourselves too seriously. No matter the situation, we always find the fun in the situation at hand. On a recent trip to Athens, Greece – the team met up for meetings, followed by a happy hour into the night… follow by some scooter action in the streets of Athens. Once 4AM hit, the streets were ours… and George and Chris led the way trekking through the streets from Monastiraki all the way to Syntagma Square. Almost on a straight path. With minimal injuries, we repeat, minimal injuries… the boys got to their destination for only a few bucks in cost. And several laughs.
“We are on site at our printing vendor’s facility here in Athens, Greece to oversee the production of our first ever magazine at Ideoli,” says George Stroumboulis, Ideoli CEO and Co-Founder. “When it comes to offset printing, we just love the traditional aspect to it. The quality of these machines in these facilities and how it accentuates the colors, the text and how it pops. We surveyed several potential printer options across North America and Europe when deciding on who to print our magazine with. Seeing blank white pages come to life with our branding and messaging and our stories printed on them in person is an absolutely exciting and we can’t wait to share them with our partners around the world,” says George.

When is the last time you visited a library? Don’t be ashamed, us too!

You have to take a couple elevators to get there and then climb up some steps, but definitely worth the experience. Just how high is that? 230 meters (or 757 feet) above street level. “We’re going up to the 38th floor and then we have to transfer and then go up to the 60th floor to get to the world’s highest library,” says George Stroumboulis, Ideoli CEO and Co-Founder. Opened in November 2003, this library boasts a Guinness World Record and over 100 shelves of Chinese and English books. Get reading, people!
We were founded in New York City, but have zero borders as we grow around the world. Ideoli has added key members to our progressive design team based in Buenos Aires, Argentina. “My name is Matias Samaniego and I’m from Buenos Aires, Argentina,” says Matias, Ideoli’s Graphic Designer. “My name is Vito Nicolas Bonsignore and I’m from Buenos Aires, Argentina,” says Vito, Ideoli’s 3D Renderer. “The office and the footprint we’re building down here in Argentina is crucial to the growth and the aggressive growth that we’re doing as a company globally,” says George Stroumboulis, Ideoli CEO and Co-Founder. Argentina is a melting pot of cultures and talents – you can see that with the team we are building. ”Here in Argentina we have really big backgrounds from painters and drawing. I’ve studied drawing and painting for 15 years,” says Matias. So many people from all walks of life. “I think we get the best of the cultures like passion. We get a lot of watching, you know the sensibility of the different cultures,” says Vito. “We have a team down here that we have hired over the last year and they have been working on the design of the business to be able to support our global efforts,” says George. Keep following us as we continue to grow down here.
Ideoli travels the world for business and is lucky to experience new cultures. Our latest travels brought us to the impressive city of Athens, Greece. Athens is a lively city, full of history and beautiful architecture. From touring the amazing Acropolis to experiencing the culture will definitely make you hungry. Join us as we explore the city to find the top five things to eat and drink. #1) Kooroo Cheese Pie: A pie with simple ingredients, a buttery dough and a feta cheese mix. Ariston, located in Syntagma square has been serving this magnificent pie every day since 1910. #2) Freddo Coffee: This is espresso coffee stirred with ice for freddo espresso and fresh milk for freddo cappuccino. Gives you the spark that you’ll need to start or continue your day. We suggest Kaya coffee house for best results. #3) Local Pie: Cheese pie isn’t the only type of pie that you can ask for while in Greece. The tiny “Pie Shop” offers sweet or savory pies with exquisite taste from around the world. #4) Souvlaki: This could definitely be the only thing to eat in Athens while hungry. Souvlaki is pieces of pork meat placed in a pita bread with pieces of tomato, red onion, tzatziki (a yogurt and garlic based sauce), parsley, salt and pepper. We suggest Kostas right next to Electra hotel and Thanasis for a more Middle East kebab style souvlaki. #5) Take away Cocktail: A nice idea while strolling the streets of downtown Athens is to take your cocktail with you on the road! TYCO offers great cocktails for those who want to do exactly that! Le Grec Ice Cream: As a bonus tip, visit “Le Grec” for a scoop or two of the finest ice cream that you can find in Athens, made with top quality ingredients found in different parts of Greece. From Acropolis hiking to driving e-scooters to eating Kebabs, there are so many things to do and enjoy in Athens to get yourself invigorated.

London is known for Big Ben, Tower of London, Buckingham Palace and Fish & Chips! “We’re sitting here having fish and chips experience. Have you had fish and chips before?” Asks George Stroumboulis, Ideoli CEO and Co-Founder. “I have,” says Chris Hartswick, Ideoli CPO and Co-Founder. “What are your thoughts?” George asks. “I’m not a big fried fish fan,” says Chris. Fun Fact – Over 250 million fish and chip meals are sold each year in the UK alone. George what do you think of fish and chips? “This is what we are going to eat. Typically, if you fry anything it taste good. So it’s probably going to taste decent,” says George. “Absolutely. What could go wrong?” says Chris. Eat up lads… and enjoy a pint of beer, too!
