Taste Athens

Greek food is definitely a highlight of your stay in Athens, since there are many different tastes for you to try out and not too many days! No matter if you are a meat lover or a vegan, if you love seafood or junk food, if you have a special thing about sweets and desserts or appetizers, Athens is the perfect destination for your palate! Trust your smell and follow the aromas to the most wonderful places in the city, where quality food is served and a feast of flavors is waiting for you.

In the center of Athens, there are plenty of different options for you to experiment with in the field of dining. Greek cuisine consists of some awesome dishes, which will surprise you and make you fall in love with the delicate taste and the uniqueness of the ingredients. Taste the famous Greek salad, topped with extra virgin olive oil and accompanied with freshly baked bread, straight from the oven. Fried squid and grilled octopus, shrimp spaghetti and meatballs, zucchini croquettes and grilled feta cheese are some of the mouth-watering dishes you will find in the local restaurants and taverns.

Even when you are on the go and you need something extra tasty and filling, souvlaki is the best choice for you. Pitta bread on the grill, wrapped around pieces of pork meat or chicken, with fried potatoes, tomato and tzatziki sauce. There is also the vegan alternative, without the meat and with haloumi cheese or potatoes as a filling. You will be lost for words! Besides souvlaki, bakeries make splendid pies and pastries, while there are also places where you can eat pizza and crepes, sandwiches and anything else your heart desires. 
 
Last but not least, a special note should be made to the fabulous cafeterias of the city in Athens. A wide selection of coffee options and tea, fresh juices and cocktails await you!
