Eating in Athens

A City with a Thousand Faces

Athens is a gastronomic destination with numerous establishments that cater to every requirement. Whether you prefer souvlaki or teriyaki, tabouleh or soufflé, the city satisfies every taste. In almost every corner, you will find the renowned Greek tavernas and souvlaki establishments, alongside venues offering ethnic or multicultural cuisine. In the ancient land of olive groves, connoisseurs will discover even international "temples" of gastronomy, awarded with Michelin stars, creating an exceptional kaleidoscope for breakfast, brunch, or a drink.
The Neighbourhoods of Flavour
Beneath the Acropolis: In the picturesque neighbourhoods of Plaka, Thisio, and Petralona, you can dine and drink like ancient gods, relishing the stunning view of the Parthenon.
Historic Centre: The area encompassing Syntagma Square, Omonia Square, and Monastiraki Square features a unique urban landscape comprising historical squares, industrial buildings, and Byzantine churches, frequented by hipsters.
By the Sea: Along the Athenian Riviera, in Piraeus and the eastern coast, you can enjoy fresh fish. In Sounion, near the Temple of Poseidon, nothing matches the experience of an aperitif at sunset.
Northern Suburbs: In Chalandri, Kifisia, Penteli, Stamata, and Drosia, the cool gardens and shade of the plane trees offer an ideal setting for epic barbecues and international cuisine.
Wine Routes of Attica
Did you know that Athens is the only European capital with vineyards just a stone's throw from the city? Here, in one of the oldest vineyards in the world, local wineries are open for tours and tastings of new and old labels.
In the region of Attica, renowned varieties such as Savvatiano, Roditis, Atheri, Vilana, White Muscat, Assyrtiko, Robola, Muscat of Alexandria and Black Muscat, Fileri, and Malagouzia flourish. Of course, Retsina holds a special place. This unique wine, enriched with resin, boasts an unbroken history that continues for 4,000 years. Cheers!
