To Theio Tragi Athens
A very interesting approach
Javier from Athens
I want to use this first paragraph to be very clear about my intention to talk about To Theio Tragi (The Holy Goat) in Athens: I want you to go there. You have to go there. You want to go there but you still don't know it :-).
This is such an amazing place, located in such a cool area I don't even know how to start talking about it, so allow me to be vehement and mention the atmosphere first. The restaurant is always full, so you'd better call some days in advance and make a reservation. About the decoration and the music I can just mention that it's amazing: they serve you food –let´s talk about it later– while you are listening to punk rock. PUNK ROCK! (the volume is not high, but perfect to continue having a nice conversation).
And the food, ah, the food! I bet you won't be able to leave nothing in the plate. The presentation, taste and amount of the food are just perfect for a creative cuisine restaurant. The menu changes every season, and I would highly recommend you have a look at the degustation menu they have for two people. The prices are above average but they are more than fair for such a restaurant, no doubt about it.
You also have the option to go to the bar just for some drinks.

House with Caryatids
An urban legend
The house is known for the two wonderful Caryatid sculptures located on the balcony of its facade. The house was built in the late 19th century and is a typical example of Athenian neoclassicism.

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.

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.
