Dining in Athens
DINING IN ATHENS Athens is a haven of bustling eateries, ouzeries, ‘souvlaki’ (shishkebob) joints, even Michelin-rated international restaurants and other international cuisine. Our hotel is just a stone’s throw from Syntagma Square (where you’ll want to view the changing of the guard), Plaka (the heart of old Athens) and the Acropolis. A couple of informative websites are: • “Matt Barrett’s Top 10 Things to Do in Athens”: www.athensguide.com/top-10/index.htm • www.athensinfoguide.com Syntagma, Plaka and Monastiraki boast mainly Greek restaurants (simple eateries are known as “tavernas” as opposed to more formal restaurants), although right on Syntagma Square you’ll find the requisite McDonald’s, plus Everest sandwiches and Loxandras souvlaki (on Ermou St). On Mitropoleos Street at Nos. 12-14, is O Tzitzikas kai O Mermigas (‘The Grasshopper and the Ant’), an excellent “mezedopoleio” which serves “mezedes”, like Middle Eastern ‘mezes’ and Spanish ‘tapas’. Call ahead for reservations: 210-324-7607. Off of Stadiou St., near Syntagma, is a sophisticated, slightly upscale restaurant called Pasaji, serving ‘modern’ Greek food. From Syntagma Square, go one block on Stadiou St, turn right at Voukourestiou St, and on the left is City Link - the Stoa Spiromiliou (a covered walkway), where the restaurant is located. Tel: 210-322-0714. PLAKA Kydathinaion St joins Adrianou St right through the heart of Plaka all the way to Monastiraki (from Syntagma Sq, go up Filellinon St three blocks; Kydathinaion St starts on the right). Both streets are lined with shops and restaurants. Kydathinaion St runs through a charming square (Filomousou Etairias Sq.), where Byzantino is located – a Greek restaurant with authentic and fairly-priced Greek food.
