Very close to the port of Piraeus a new and very interesting spot has opened. Pirée means Piraeus and has multiple characteristics. You can enjoy your coffee or drink in a live art space with artistic creation and liberation.
Pirée gives young artists the opportunity to express their art, to liberate and experiment on the arts. You will feel all that creative energy as you visit it. The great thing of the combination of these two sites is that one is incorporated inside the other. The coffee bar is not separated from the gallery but instead there is an interaction and communication between them. This means that while you enjoy your drink or eat something there is a chance that a mini performance or show starts right next to you. This experience is excellent, I assure you.
I visit Pirée usually early in the afternoon as there are not a lot of people and I can enjoy my coffee as I observe the artworks. Next time you visit Athens, or before you go to the islands, give Pirée a chance to surprise you.

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.

Plateia Proskopon is surely not as hip as Plateia Varnava or other spots in Pagrati but has a unique atmosphere.

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!

Entering Agias Zonis is like getting into a literal comfort zone. Although it starts from the bustling pedestrian zone of Fokionos Negri, Agias Zonis is a well-kept secret.

There are actually three falafel places located next to each other in Plateia Vathis (Vathis square). All three places are equally good, offering huge portions for a great price.

Located on the top of Lycabettus hill, the highest spot of the city right in the center of Athens, it is a steep walk to reach Prasini Tenta, but just the view itself is worth the hike.

After filling your basket with pickled mushrooms and the lavash puff bread, try the candy bars with the illustrated packaging reminding you of the Soviet Union days.

"O Lefteris" in Athens makes souvlaki the way our fathers & grandfathers like them best: no gyros, no tzatziki, no fries; just meat, pita, tomato & onion.
