A family-run shoe shop handcrafting leather shoes and accessories since 1920. You can bet that you'll walk out of Melissinos Art with a pair of sandals that fit like a glove; the tale of Cinderella has never been so true. 

Fresh and tasty bread at a little bakery. Loved by locals and visitors alike. We especially love the baklava here, because, well, duh. 

A museum built to house every artifact found at the Acropolis of Athens and on the surrounding slopes. Not just a must visit for archeology nerds, but for everyone looking to learn a bit more of the history of Athens. 

This hole in the wall restaurant has unbeatable gyros and souvlaki. Though it closes its doors for the weekend, you can bet that Monday through to Friday there is a queue at this 34-year old souvlaki spot. Some say its the best in Athens, and one taste of that juicy pork gyro is enough to prove why.
