Dining in Athens

Even as a relatively small Old Town, dining throughout the Athens metro area is extensive and wonderful, highlighted by its Mediterranean related cultural cuisine, featuring its fresh souvlaki, found at street stands with a decidedly Greek flair.  Athens has everything to offer from very good local offerings to the sleekest hip foodie favorites.

Whether it’s fast food from a souvlaki stand or five-star dining at restaurants like Alatsi and Giantes and their beautiful courtyard, there is a splendid fare of dishes to be enjoyed and pleasant eateries to relax and imbibe in.  A real favorite is any of the traditional but upscale “neo-traverna’s” and traditional magereika, or cookeries as to be found particularly in the smaller neighborhoods within Athens.  The hotels are another good choice for fine dining, and Creten, Italian and Mediterranian food can be found throughout this wonderful, world famous tourist spot.

If you enjoy variety, you’ll be amazed at Athens restaurants, where you’ll find the perfect menu, in the perfect spot for the perfect price.
