What to expect

  1. Pass by
    You'll pass through one of the most storied corners of the ancient world, the Parthenon watching from above, the cobblestone streets below walked for thousands of years. History here isn't in a museum; it's right outside the window.
  2. Koukaki District
    Pass by
    Just steps from the ancient sites, Koukaki has quietly become Athens' most interesting neighborhood, laid-back, gentrified, full of locals who actually live here.
  3. 20m
    Family-run pastry shop, we’ll enjoy Greece’s favorite iced coffee, Freddo Espresso or Freddo Cappuccino, paired with “Trigona Panoramatos,” crispy triangles made of baklava phyllo dough soaked in syrup, filled with airy cream.
  4. 20m
    At this cozy family-run spot, you may get the change to watch handmade phyllo pies crafted from scratch. Choose yours from cheese, chicken, spinach, and more!
  5. 40m
    At this charming deli-style grocery, we’ll taste a charcuterie board with Greek cheeses, cold cuts, olives, and fresh bread, paired with unlimited tsipouro (greek spirit) and a glass of wine. To finish, Greek yogurt with honey.
  6. 30m
    Visit this small, family-run spot known for some of the best handmade gyros and kebabs in the city. Fresh pita bread is baked daily. Enjoy a wrap with gyro (pork, chicken, or vegetarian) paired with a small Greek beer.
  7. 20m
    Stop at one of the few places in Athens that still makes traditional Greek donuts. Crispy on the outside, soft inside, topped with honey and cinnamon or chocolate. The lively, youthful atmosphere makes this sweet stop especially welcoming.
