No worries, this is the moment to discover one of the best-hidden tavernas of Athens, a real apocalypse even for locals. Feel that old-time nostalgia as you visit one of the most iconic places where you'll enjoy typical Greek tapas (mezes) and drink wine. The menu is based on seasonal ingredients the owner buys every day from the main food market of the city, just a few meters away.
