Places to visit in Athens Greece

 

Avli

If you want to live the experience of an authentic Greek home restaurant. No frills, fuss and flourishes, grab your map to find the Courtyard. Nestled behind a nondescript door, Avli is a favorite of locals and tourists alike. It is a humble Greek tavern with a short menu of traditional dishes, cooked over a gas stove. Tables are covered in bright oilcloth and tucked into a secret courtyard behind a door with graffiti lines in Psirri.

With dirty tables and crammed chairs with people of all ages - elderly local uncles and aunties among cultured travelers you will find this restaurant to be the highlight of your stay in Athens. A tip from us would be to try the spicy cheese dip, mixed plate and wine which costs 1.50 euros.

Yiasemi

Located in the iconic area of ​​Plaka, this touristy but worthwhile bistro is a sight to behold. The vegan and vegetarian options, the warm atmosphere, the beautiful view from the terrace and the traditional food and drinks will make an unforgettable impression on you.

The narrow streets, melancholic lights and traditional food will make you feel right at home with Greece's centuries-old history and transport you to an era of epic romance, whether it's a romantic getaway or a girls' trip. We suggest you dive straight into the traditional cuisine and try their specialties - the heavenly fluffy orange tarts with cream ice cream washed down with the local racomelo.
