Gastronomy in Athens
When visiting Athens, the Greek gastronomy is a must-try experience. From seafood to traditional Greek cuisine, gourmet, fast food, and international cuisine, Athens has it all. While wandering around Plaka and Thissio, you can find a few touristic restaurants serving great food. However, the best dining experience can only be found in the hidden back streets where you can discover unsuspected restaurants. There are restaurants to suit every budget, ranging from expensive to normal and budget-friendly. You cannot leave Athens without trying the traditional Greek gyros or souvlaki served with pita. Some restaurants in Athens specialize in Magirefta, which are dishes made in the oven (such as moussaka, pastitsio, stuffed tomatoes, roast lamb, potatoes, etc.). In the evening, you can find charming bars and restaurants serving top-quality cuisine accompanied by delicious Greek wine and traditional Greek ouzo.
