More Food & Drink in Athens

🍜

Diporto Agoras

A legendary underground taverna near the Central Market with no menu, no sign, and no written prices — the owner simply brings whatever was cooked that day. Revithia (chickpea soup), grilled fish, and house wine from the barrel. The most authentic lunch in Athens.

🍜

Vezene Restaurant

The finest modern Greek restaurant in Athens — a sleek Kolonaki space where chef Elias Mamalakis reinterprets traditional Greek recipes with seasonal produce and exceptional presentation. The mezze progression is the best way to eat here; the natural Greek wine list is extraordinary.

🍜

Varvakios Central Market

Athens' central covered market — a 19th-century iron-and-glass hall full of fishmongers, butchers, and produce vendors who have served the city since 1880. The atmosphere is theatrical, the freshness is extraordinary, and the souvlaki stall outside produces the best skewer in the city at 7am.
