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. 

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. 

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. 

Explore the oldest & most striking open-air cinema in Athens, located in the heart of the city's historic center overlooking the Acropolis. They show English-language new releases & classics (with subtitles). Order their house cocktail made with sour cherries and enjoy the breathtaking views while watching your favourite movie!
