Dining in Athens

Food is at the centre of all activities in Greece, and it is easy to understand why. The Greek cuisine, Mediterranean at heart and influenced by their Turkish neighbours, is fresh, honest, filling and absolutely delicious. Whether you are in for a tour of the best Greek Tavernas in town, looking for the tastiest gyros or want to try the new Greek cuisine, you might adjust to the local rhythm and spend a lot of time around the table. In Athens and in Greece, you can eat at any time of the day and late at night. Tavernas and Ouzerias, where you can drink local cocktails and usually hear traditional music, are also a key place for social life.
