Like many of our favourite bookstores, they become spots where we feel utterly relaxed, more than happy to fritter away the hours browsing the shelves. Even more so when we can browse with a cup of coffee in hand. You can do exactly that in Adad Books which has become one of the city's first contemporary art book spots. 

A glass of ice cold ouzo? A cheeky sip of raki? Don't mind if we do! Especially if it's from Klouvi, a hot spot for locals, and visitors, alike to have a drink, sip on a house-special cocktail, and dance away to some groovy tunes. 

Calling all culture lovers and cinephiles this is the spot for you. What began as a puppet show venue in 1932, has revolved and revamped to become one of the finest open-air cinemas. After all, could there be a better way to spend the evening than watching a movie under the Athenian sky? We don't think so. Check the latest show times for the opening times!

Taverna Oikonomou is everything and more: what began as a kitchen with four tables in Yiannis Oikonomou's family home (serving only one-pot wonders, and one pan fried cod dish) is now arguably one of the hottest spots to go to for traditional Greek cuisine. From the vibe, the food, the hosts; everything is truly perfect.
