Family-run taverna with home-cooked food, practically next door to the apartment. One of the two remaining traditional underground tavernas of Plaka, a favorite with artists and intellectuals. The basement is a must-see, even if you sit outside.

High-end confectionery since 1939 for the Athenian elite, from politicians to businesspeople. The old, aristocratic bar inside is something to watch out for, but whenever your host has tea there, he is more inspired by looking at the lighting on the ceiling.
