1001 Geyseis Athens

Nuts about it

"I just love the chocolate-covered nuts in 1001 Geyseis! I recently tried the cocoa-covered pecan nuts and hopefully one day I will try all the variety the store has to offer!"

Shops selling nuts and dried fruits are very popular in Greece. You can find one or more such places in every neighborhood, and several of them are tightly packed in the Central Market of Athens (check the Varvakeios Market article). These stores do not usually sell prepackaged bags of goods but you can choose the quantity you wish to buy, get it weighed, and packed and you are ready to go!

One of my favorites stores of this kind is 1001 Geyseis (1001 Flavors), because not only do they carry a wide range of nuts, spices, and dried fruits but they also keep up with the times and offer many choices for healthy snacks and delicacies, such as rice crackers and vegetable chips, at reasonable prices. I just love the chocolate-covered nuts in 1001 Geyseis! I recently tried the cocoa-covered pecan nuts and hopefully one day I will try all the variety the store has to offer! I discovered that they also carry many kinds of nut butter and paste (I didn’t know that pumpkin seed butter existed, but it is allegedly tasty and nutritious).

Take your time looking and nibbling around the shop as I am convinced that they offer more than 1000 flavors.

Lefteris o Politis

Simply delicious souvlaki

A well-cooked pita, a juicy burger, tomato, and onion are a unique and tasty combination. It is the epitome of delicious simplicity.

Talking Breads

Talking about street food

My favourite burger is the Bacon Mushroom Melt, and my favourite sandwich is the Tika, which is slightly spicy and causes a chain of flavour explosions!

Shedia

Human is the answer

Shedia is heavily focused on sustainability and inclusivity: pets have their own menu, the menu is also offered in Braille, and the oil used is produced by the Niarchos park trees and then recycled.

Teras

A pretty monster

Teras is full of contradictions: it is unconventionally named (teras means 'monster' in greek) in an ugly way but it is one of the most beautiful places to enjoy your drink.

It's really close to both Akropoli and Syggrou-Fix metro station, it has a nice vibe, a great selection of Greek international dishes and large portions!

Fine dining at home

Although Kalos Aeras is located on a busy road, there is no noise penetrating the leafy veranda, and stepping into the house is like time-traveling back to the 60s.
