67 Bistro Cafe Bar Athens

Ukrainian corner in Athens

"Famous for its vegan options and Ukrainian dishes like piroshki and borscht soup, 67 is also a very relaxed and friendly spot for studying or working."

In 2012, a tiny and long-abandoned space transformed and opened as a folklore-boho bistro cafe bar with Ukrainian interior references like textiles and hand-made embroideries hanging on the walls. Lesha (Alexandra in Greek), Olena and Bogdan are the owners - staff, always friendly and polite, came from Ukraine in 2000.

When 67 opened, it was one of the first brunch places in Athens, famous for its Ukrainian dishes, vegan choices and more, served every day fresh in large portions and with good value for money. Some of the traditional options are piroshki, Ukrainian dumplings with cabbage and meat. Also, 67 is well known for its signature dish, the national Ukrainian borscht soup.

If you prefer sweet to savoury Ukrainian temptations, you should order medivinc - the famous Ukrainian sponge cake or Syrnyk, a traditional cake from Lviv. If you are vegan, there is also spinach cake with berries and ricotta cheese. 67 is a very relaxed and friendly spot for studying or working. You can find local magazines and books to read for free if you want to spend time in the Exarchia area.

Mouries in Kolonos

Authentic Athenian

It does not matter what you order when you visit Mouries because everything is made with the same care (however, my favorite dish here is the meatballs).

Zaharias Records

A music lovers' paradise

My favorite morning walk in the Monastiraki Flea Market always ends with a visit to Zaharias Records. Here I can browse a huge and ever-changing collection of second-hand vinyl records and CDs and always discover something to buy.

Agios Ioannis of the Column

A hidden gem

Agios Ioannis of the Column is one of the most interesting hidden attractions in the center of Athens. The church was built in the 6th century AD, and its sanctuary was formed around an ancient Corinthian column.

Louka Nika Street

A street art gallery

Street art has developed mainly in large urban centres, and Athens is no exception. The Psirri neighbourhood in the city centre is inextricably linked to the history of street art in Athens.

Oliver Nuts and Flavors

Going nuts for taste

Aside from the freshly ground coffee, which is either made on the spot or purchased in bulk to take home, you will find exceptional and always fresh nuts in sufficient variety.

Mets

Athens most charming neighbourhood

Many artists, musicians, actors, and painters have relocated to Mets, giving it a more bohemian feel. There are only a handful of shops, cafes, bars, and restaurants in the area, a fact that creates a more intimate and cosy atmosphere.

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!

Buho Bruncherie

The ideal place for brunch

The unique pancakes at Buho (sweet and savory) are in my opinion, the best I have tried in the city and the menu has enough options to satisfy all tastes.
