Irida Athens

University goes Cinema

""Irida" Athens is the cultural association / cinema of the Athenian University students. Almost everyday you have the chance to watch cult-movies for free!"

Irida is the cultural association of the Athenian University students.

Here everyone, student or not, can take part in seminars about everything connected to the art of cinematography. But besides all the cultural overload you will find in the building, you will also come across the ultimate (in my opinion) cinema: Irida.

Almost everyday you have the chance to watch cult-movies that otherwise you would probably not have the chance to see in the big screen, for free. Check out the website of the association for information on the program. It is updated weekly.

Tip: The parties they organize from time to time are not bad either!

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.

Santaroza

Asian film noir

Its trademark is the long, wooden bar that, with a length of 14 meters is perhaps the longest bar in Athens. It's the best place for negronis and whiskeys.

Matchpoint bar

Calm, cool and collected

Matchpoint's interior is tastefully decorated, and the music is lovely but my favorite is sitting outside enjoying my drink and watching the world go by.

Ode to socks

Greek culture encapsulated

Ode to socks has made good use of the local greek heroes such as the priest (pappa), the priest's wife, the sailor, and the fisherman, who are characteristic figures in every Greek's childhood.

Mandragoras

Every time is like the first time

There are always dishes of the day in addition to the set menu, so no two visits to Mandragoras are ever the same. And kontosouvli is always available.

Hatzigeorgiou

Αdding flavour to life

Every time I cross Evripidou Street, I am overwhelmed by the aroma of cinnamon, pepper, and oregano, and images of Eastern bazaars come to mind.

To Laini

Where the Cretan heart beats

My two favorites are Sfakianopita with honey and the famous Dakos. Every plate is cooked in olive oil with lots of rosemary.
