Where to find avocado tzatziki, fried seafood in a cone, mutton burgers, and octopus candied with tsipouro in the Greek capital. Article by Demetrios Ioannou. Demetrios Ioannou is an independent reporter and documentary photographer, based between Athens, Greece, and Istanbul, Turkey. His work has been featured at The New York Times, NPR, POLITICO Europe, The Daily Beast, and BBC Travel among others. So he probably knows, right? :)
Every year, tourists travel to the Greek capital to hike up the Acropolis, browse countless museums, and seek out tans at nearby beaches. They also come for Greek cuisine, which builds many meals from three key ingredients: olive oil, wheat, and wine. Add in lots of vegetables, fruits, fish, and meat, and a philhellene could want nothing more.
But the Athenian food scene goes well beyond olives and bread. The capital has also long served as a gateway for the wider MENA (the Middle East and North Africa) region. Athens has welcomed immigrants from Egypt, Turkey, Lebanon, and Syria, who combine their foodways with Greek ingredients and customs in fine dining to street food. In recent years, the city’s chefs have developed new genres of gourmet Greek cuisine, with influences from across the eastern Mediterranean and with help from an up-and-coming generation of cooks who cut their teeth in restaurants around the world. Even TV shows like MasterChef Greece have had a noticeable impact, driving interest in new dining options and highlighting industry talent.
Exciting, classic, and Classical, the best Athens restaurants are here to serve you olives, bread, wine, and so much more.

At Hoocut, an A-Team of famous chefs (also behind Cookoovaya, on this list) aims to elevate souvlaki, the iconic Greek street food, with the best possible ingredients. Set inside a neoclassical building of the interwar period, a bakery, a butcher shop, and a grocery store provide the raw materials for the final product, which emerges from the main grill area. Finely chopped pieces of beef or mutton are wrapped in pita, while pork, chicken, and sausage are presented on open pita. And for those who don’t eat meat, Hoocut has a squid option, too.

Spyros Liakos, Vangelis Liakos, Pericles Koskinas, and Manos Zournatzis are some of the country’s top cooking talents. At Cookoovaya, they create free-flowing, family-style meals under the mantra “remember how you felt, not just what you ate.” Though the seasonal menu changes often, some of their most-beloved dishes are slow-braised beef cheek with smoked eggplant puree, and grilled fish of the day with amaranth, olive oil, and lemon. It’s a good idea to start your meal with one of their pies; the open-topped version with truffle-creamed mushrooms, grilled beef off-cuts, and crispy onion is the most interesting.

The namesake tastes of Damascus are not only delicious; they also support asylum-seekers and refugees living in Athens. Started as a project by NGO Za’atar — which focuses on providing resources and local connections to women, unaccompanied minors, LGBTQ refugees, and prisoners — the Syrian and Middle Eastern restaurant is slowly attracting more diners with its falafel, tabbouleh, and Beyrouti hummus with parsley. One recent favorite is mouhalabe, Syrian milk pudding with coconut, orange blossom water, pistachio, and rose.

Greeks are known for their love of seafood, but there’s no fresher place to get it than chef Vasilis Akrivos’s restaurant set behind the central fish market.

This small cafe in the center of Athens serves the best red velvet cake in the city thanks to pastry chef Tasos Lytras. You’ll have to stop by early to try it, though, since the cake regularly sells out. Don’t fret if you miss it; Lytras also whips up a variety of tarts, pies, croissants, and cakes. Accompany your dessert with coffee or, even better, a scoop of house-made ice cream.

You’ll find great food at Shedia, but it’s the great people who will keep bringing you back. The cafe-bar-restaurant occupies the ground floor of Shedia Home, an initiative that helps people struggling with homelessness. The famous Greek chef Lefteris Lazarou created the menu, but the kitchen is staffed with relative newbies (the only cooking expertise required for hire is knowing how to boil an egg). The seasonal menu utilizes organic ingredients while remaining affordable, with offerings like almond and pistachio-crusted salmon filet or marjoram-scented spaghetti with red peppers, singlino (salted pork), and minced pork.

Aris Vezenes, one of Greece’s most talented chefs, had a huge hit on his hands when he opened his Greek-inspired bistro in 2011. The restaurant has aged well, earning a community of loyal customers and a spot in the Michelin guide. The menu is divided into three categories: a sea section with fresh fish, urchin, and lobster; a land section with fantastic choices of meat, like faraona (Guinea fowl) cooked with shio koji, jus, pickled pear, and baby gem; and the soil section, which includes dishes of mushrooms, potatoes, and vegetables.


27. Kalamakia O Elvis
Plateon 29
Athina 104 35, Greece
21 0345 5836
You can get steak, pork, or chicken souvlaki at lots of places in Athens, but this is the only place to dine on the street delicacy beneath the loving gaze of the king. The story behind the Elvis Presley-themed eatery is a bit convoluted (the owners also run a bar that’s next door to a butcher shop named Elvis that was created for a popular Greek sitcom), but the owners ran with it, plastering the interior with posters and playing “Suspicious Minds” on repeat. If the ambiance somehow doesn’t appeal to you, the meats can also be taken to go, as can the freshly chopped fries sprinkled with salt and oregano. The shop’s huge success even led to a second location in the Pagrati neighborhood.

Tables are arranged down a (surprisingly light-filled) hallway, with a green-and-white color scheme that makes the place feel small and cozy. The cafe does serve coffee, but later in the day you’ll also find burgers topped with provatina (mutton), roasted squash filled with goat cheese and almonds, and black lentils with rice, smoked trout, lemongrass, and peppers.

Despite the location in Kolonaki, one of the most expensive neighborhoods of Athens, this pasta bar doesn’t require a second mortgage to afford its plentiful plates. After working in London and Paris, chef Alex Vasilatou returned home to Greece to open her namesake restaurant. The menu includes seven different choices of pasta, all with unique names, like the Cleopatra, a pappardelle in a spicy red sauce, and the Castaway, spaghetti alla chitarra with cured pork tenderloin.

Stop by the beautiful space in Koukaki in the morning for coffee and a sweet poffie with chocolate, caramelized raspberry, or coconut cream. Or come by in the afternoon for a glass of wine with a salty flavor like cheese and bacon, sauteed spinach, eggplant and peppers, or sundried tomato with olive paste.

Where do you start when it comes to all the history and culture on tap in the Greek capital? Well, we’ve done the groundwork for you by exploring 20 of the best museums in Athens, so you can decide which to put on your wish list … and reveal a few gems you’d probably never have heard of otherwise.
1. Acropolis Museum
15 Dionysiou Areopagitou St
Number one on your list of best Athens museums for good reason. The Acropolis Museum completes the experience of visiting the Parthenon (right next door). The 14,000 m2 exhibition space is beautifully laid out, bringing ancient Athens (particularly the 5th-century Golden Age of Pericles) to life through sculptures and artifacts, as well as replicas of buildings on Acropolis Hill, such as the Temple of Athena Nike and the Erechtheion. Don't miss the top-floor Parthenon Gallery, including original and replica marbles that recreate the full Parthenon frieze.


2. National Archaeological Museum
44 28th October St, Exarhia
If you want to know why Greece is referred to as the cradle of western civilization, this is the museum to visit. All of Greece’s history (Neolithic, Cycladic, Mycenaean, Classical, Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, Venetian, Ottoman, and Modern) is represented through statues, miniatures, gravestones, tools, weapons, and items from everyday life. It is Athens’ largest museum and has a comprehensive public library. The southern wing (through a separate entrance) houses the Epigraphic Museum, with more than 14,000 inscriptions, revealing the astonishing detail of record-keeping in ancient Greece. 


3. Museum of Cycladic Art
4 Neophytou Douka St, Kolonaki
A fascinating assembly of some of the oldest artifacts in Greece. Collectables from as long as 5,000 years ago from Greece’s Cycladic islands – such as Andros, Naxos, Antiparos, Amorgos, and Thera (Santorini) – are on display, including the smooth and graceful marble figurines of men and women from the Early Cycladic Period that are the museum’s signature artifacts. The museum is housed in the Stathatos Mansion, a beautiful example of neoclassical architecture in Athens and one of the finest works of architect Ernst Ziller.


4. National Gallery
50 Vassileos Konstantinou Ave, Pangrati
A must for all art lovers, with works by Greece’s best-known painters as well as European masters (such as Rembrandt and Picasso) in a recently reopened building that’s as eye-catching as some of the artwork on display. But the real attraction of the National Gallery is that it traces all the pivotal moments of modern Greek history – from the post-Byzantine years to the revolution against the Ottomans and the establishment of the modern Greek state – through more than 1,000 works of art. It’s hard to think of a more beautiful history lesson.

5. Benaki Museum of Greek Culture
1 Koumbari St, Kolonaki
One of the most popular private museums, with artwork and collectibles from the 6th millennium BC to the 20th century. Prominent art collector Antonis Benakis donated his astonishing collection (and beautiful neoclassical family mansion) for the creation of the museum, which now houses an even larger display of jewelry, ceramics, marble portraits, manuscripts, religious icons, household utensils, costumes, and textiles from all stages of Greek history.


6. National Museum of Contemporary Art Athens
Kallirrois Ave & Amvr. Frantzi St, Koukaki
A gem for art lovers in one of Athens’ most iconic buildings (the fully refurbished former FIX brewery) in the lively Koukaki neighborhood. The 18,142 m2 minimalist, beautifully lit gallery space is the ideal setting for exhibits that explore timeless themes such as democracy, identity, and exclusion – as well as contemporary issues such as the refugee crisis in the Mediterranean and racial discrimination.
The permanent collection includes 172 works from 78 Greek and foreign artists.


7. Goulandris Museum of Modern Art
13 Eratosthenous St, Pangrati
It’s incredible to think that the 180-odd pieces from mainly 19th and 20th-century masters (including Picasso, Van Gogh, Monet, Cezanne, El Greco, Gaugin, and Pollock) were once the private collection of an Athenian couple. 
That, however, was the dream of Basil and Elise Goulandris, a ship-owning couple who amassed an astonishing amount of artwork and bequeathed it to this and the smaller (original) Goulandris Museum of Contemporary Art in their native Andros. Realism, impressionism, cubism, abstract – all the movements of modern art are there.


8. Byzantine and Christian Museum
22 Vassilissis Sofias Ave
An archive of over 2,500 artifacts from Greece’s Byzantine and Christian heritage, dating from the 3rd century AD to modern times. Icons, wall-paintings, manuscripts and ceramics, textiles, mosaics, and other objects are assembled chronologically according to five broad ‘thematic routes’: The Water Path, Woman, Peculiar Objects, Walking Beyond, and Gold, offering glimpses of the material culture as well as the spiritual life of their times.


9. National Historical Museum
13 Stadiou St, Syntagma
The oldest museum of its kind in Greece, the National Historical Museum houses the artifacts of the Historical and Ethnological Society of Greece (founded in 1882). It is located in the Old Parliament Building (serving as the Hellenic Parliament from 1875-1935) and before that was in Athens’ National Technical College. It contains artifacts such as weapons, manuscripts, and a large collection of traditional costumes from the Fall of Constantinople in 1453 to the Second World War, with a special emphasis on Greece’s 1821 War of Independence.


10. Athens City Museum
5-7 Paparigopoulou St, Klafthmonos Square
The Athens City Museum is found in two interconnected buildings, with paintings, engravings, sculptures, furniture, and important documents of a wealthy middle-class Athenian household in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The neoclassical house at No.7 belonged to Stamatios Dekozis-Vouros (1792-1881), a wealthy banker from Chios, but it is known as the Old Palace as it became the residence of the first royal couple, King Otto and Queen Amalia (1836-1843), when the capital of Greece moved to Athens. The so-called New Building at No.5 preserves the memories and history of the Dekozis-Vouros family.


11. Museum of the Ancient Agora
24 Adrianou St, Monastiraki
The Museum of the Ancient Agora is found in the restored Stoa of Attalos, the 2nd-century BC building gifted to the Athenians by King Attalus II of Pergamon that has been linked to ancient Athens’ first shopping arcade, given that it once housed covered stalls for traders to sell their wares. It displays artifacts unearthed during excavations of the Ancient Agora, including everyday items as varied as identification tags, a clay water-clock, and official bronze voting ballots, all the way to portrait busts from the Roman period.
300
12. Numismatic Museum of Athens
12 Panepistimiou Street (El. Venizelou), Syntagma
Housing an assortment of over 500,000 coins, medals, gems, weights, stamps, and related artifacts from 1400 BC to modern times, the Numismatic Museum of Athens includes one of the richest collections of its kind. It is also located in an iconic Athens building (known as the Iliou Melathron) that was designed in 1878-1880 for celebrated archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann (who excavated the archaeological sites of Troy and Mycenae) by Ernst Ziller (one of Athens’ most prominent architects). The mansion’s restored mosaics and murals are part of the experience.


13. The Goulandris Natural History Museum
13 Levidou St, Kifissia
Away from the city center, in the northern suburb of Kifissia, the Goulandris Museum of Natural History plays an important role in promoting natural sciences. It was the first in Greece to teach environmental awareness and encourage the protection of Greece’s wildlife habitats and species in danger of extinction. As well as displaying large numbers of insects, mammals, birds, reptiles, shells, rocks, minerals and fossils from around Greece, it also has a display of hundreds of thousands of species of plants, including some identified by the museum’s own research.


14. Hellenic Maritime Museum
Akti Themistokleous, Piraeus
A must for ship buffs, the Hellenic Maritime Museum, near Zea Marina in Piraeus, contains more than 2,500 items from Greece’s famous maritime history. There are models of vessels from Archaic and Classical times and exhibits from Greece’s Byzantine years and the 1821 War of Independence and beyond. The conning tower of the Papanikolis (a Second World War submarine) is found outside, alongside anchors from ships from the Battle of Navarino of 1827 (an east vs west encounter off the west coast of Peloponnese known as the last major naval battle fought exclusively with sailing ships).


15. Jewish Museum of Greece
39 Nikis St, Plaka
Commemorating the history of the Jewish population of Greece, which grew to one of the biggest in Europe by the start of the 20th century. The Jewish Museum of Greece displays personal possessions, jewelry, documents, and synagogue items detailing the history and daily lives of the Jews of Greece. Excavations on Delos have revealed ancient synagogues, but Jewish numbers swelled in the 15th century and beyond, with persecuted Sephardim Jews finding refuge in Greece (especially Thessaloniki). Having risen to more than 100,000, the Jewish community lost a staggering 87% of its population during the Nazi occupation of Greece.


16. Museum of Greek Folk Musical Instruments
1-3 Diogenous St, Plaka
In one of the oldest buildings in Plaka (built in the mid-19th century), the Museum of Greek Folk Musical Instruments commemorates the rich history of musicology and instrument-making in Greece. Many of the artifacts are from Fivos Anoyanakis (a musicologist born in 1915 whose collection was one of the most important in Europe), grouped according to instrument type: membranophones (drums & tambourines), aerophones (flutes & bagpipes), chordophones (lutes, guitars, and mandolins) and idiophones (bells & cymbals).


17. Museum of Ancient Greek Technology
6 Pindarou St, Kolonaki
Robotics and computers, steam-driven and jet propulsion, automotive and automatic navigation, telecommunication, utilization of hydraulic and wind energy, and cryptology were all invented by … you guessed it, the Ancient Greeks. That’s what the Museum of Ancient Greek Technology seeks to prove through original artifacts and reconstructions showing how Ancient Greece was a nursery for many of the inventions and technology of today. Don’t believe it? There’s only one way to find out.


18. Museum of Traditional Greek Pottery
4-6, Melidoni St, Psyrri
The Museum of Traditional Greek Pottery explores the modern face of this ancient Greek craft. As well as offering ceramics lessons, the museum traces the history of Greek pottery-making in the 19th and 20th centuries through a series of workshop displays. You’ll find re-enactments and representations of different styles of pottery-making (with or without a manual wheel or with a kick-wheel), explaining the cultural context and artistry of the vases and other ceramics created.


19. Museum of Modern Greek Culture
4-8 Thespidos St, Plaka
The Museum of Modern Greek Culture consists of more than a dozen 19th and early 20th-century buildings in Plaka, recreating a neighborhood of Athens from that time. The complex includes The Bath House of the Winds (the only public bath in Athens from Ottoman rule, near the Roman Forum) and The Museum at 22 Panos St (including an exhibition of objects such as archives, personal testimonies, images, and words that encourage visitors to explore the narratives behind them).

20. Museum of Illusions 
119 Ermou St, Psyrri
Something completely different to finish within our list of best Athens museums. The Museum of Illusions mesmerizes all members of the family by challenging their senses. You’ll enjoy holograms and other optical illusions in an array of specially designed settings (so have your smartphone ready), teasing your brain and then explaining the science behind the effect.

Euros can also be exchanged for notes of other foreign currencies at exchange offices that are situated at the airport and certain main ports, in the larger cities, as well as at many tourist destinations. A passport is required when exchanging currencies.

In case of omission or infringement of the above, you can call to Tourist Police in 1571 (24/7 in operation).
In the event you need to file a complaint, you may contact with the Hellenic Ministry of Tourism, sending an email in the following address: [email protected] (Pay attention, the dispatching of emails by the Ministry of Tourism in hotmail.com email addresses is temporarily impossible due to safety policies of the service provider). 
Weather in Greece
In order to help you to choose which clothing and accessories to put in your suitcase for your trip to Greece, we provide you certain general information on the climate of our country!
Greece's climate is Mediterranean with long sunshine, mild temperatures and limited rainfalls. It is characterised by great variation, due to the country's geographic location, the intense relief and the distribution between the mainland and the sea.
In the summer, dry hot days are often cooled by seasonal winds that are called "etesian winds" while mountainous areas are more cool.
Winters are mild in the plains with little ice and snow, but the mountains are usually covered with snow.
In addition, it is a common phenomenon to combine different climate conditions in the same season (for instance mild heat near the sea and cool in the mountainous areas).
What is the official language in Greece? Do most people in Greece speak English?
Although the official language is Greek, a large majority of people in the tourist industry speaks English.
English is also part of the standard school curriculum, therefore, most Greek’s will have a good command of the English language as well as a few other languages as well (ex. French, German, Italian etc).
Greek is a particularly difficult language to pick up, so no one will be upset if you do not speak any Greek. Greeks are friendly people who are always eager to help and love it when they hear a stranger speaking their language (this is why we send you a list of common every day words and phrases you can use while you're here and interacting with the locals!) 
So, when planning your trip to Greece, try to learn a few common Greek words like ‘please’ (parakalo), ‘thank you’ (efharisto) and ‘hello’ (yasou) and you will get a favourable response as you try to communicate with the locals.
Street signs in the cities are typically bilingual, but if you’re heading further afield, it’s worth learning the Greek alphabet as well, to help you navigate.
In which time zone is Greece?
Eastern European Time (EET), UTC +2
Eastern European Summer Time (EEST), UTC +3) starts March 28, 2021
What’s Greece’s calling code?
The country code for Greece is +30 which will allow you to make an international call to Greece from another country.

Tipping in Greece
Tipping in Greece may be expected in most places, but it is by no means an obligation.
There is no set standard for how much to leave when service exceeds expectations, but there are certain times when it’s expected you’ll tip.
For instance, some restaurants may round up the bill to include gratuity, so it is wise to look for this inclusion before tipping.
Note that it’s also common for servers not to receive tips included on a credit card, so try to leave cash whenever possible so ensure the person you’re trying to tip actually receives the gratuity.
How To Tip In Greece
Cafe Server:
If there is a tip jar by the cash register, it’s a nice gesture to leave a couple of coins. For exceptional table service, round up to the nearest €1.
Restaurant Server:
A tip is typically expected, especially for stellar service, but some restaurants round up the bill to include gratuity. Check the bill first for these inclusions before deciding whether or not to tip. If there is no added tip, leave 5 to 10 percent, and a few coins on the table for the busser. You could also simply tell your waiter to keep the change as you pay. 
Some restaurants may refuse gratuity for service, so if you’re unsure, you can certainly ask before tipping. There may be a “cover charge” on the bill, which covers the cost of bread and non-bottled water, but doesn’t include gratuity.
Bartender:
At bars, it’s not necessary to tip a bartender, as most do not expect it; but it is considerate to round to the nearest €1 for great service.
Tour Guides:
In Greece, it’s customary to tip tour guides. Tip €2 to €5 per person, per day for a group tour; and €20 to €25 per person, per day for a private tour, but the final choice is really up to you as there are no hard and fast rules here, and they will be grateful for any tip you choose to give them.
