The best bars and cafés AThens & The Attica

Charming address for rock lovers independent of Exarchia district.

It includes the latest tubes from Britain, with ouzo or beer. The place is frequented by regulars and meetings are full of surprises.

This private contemporary art museum, nestled in an elegant neoclassical house in Plaka, also houses a nice café. In this interesting little museum you can discover works by contemporary Greek and international artists. You will not need to pay the entrance (6 €) if you want to take only a espresso inside, next to the museum shop.

This new one among the beach bars of the Women Riviera tries to reproduce the atmosphere of the islands. In the face of the sea, with mezzedes and ouzo, but also some more classical dishes and cocktails worthy of this name, the evening can extend to the early morning, to the rhythms of music. The staff is sometimes not very attentive, but just accept to take its time… as on the islands!

The Vouliagmenis yacht club has this all day café-restaurant which spreads its tables almost on the water. Here you can sip delicious freddocinos or other iced drinks while watching the sunset! But it is also possible to nibble on delicious snacks, like the homemade club sandwich, or more refined dishes. The must: take a dip in the bay after your meal! In the later hours, you can enjoy the fresh sea breeze while sipping a drink or cocktail.

Overlooking the beach and the coast, in the shade of tall trees, the all day café/bistro Notos, with a full view of the Saronic Gulf, is the ideal place to escape the hustle and bustle of the beaches. Inside or on the edge of the planted promenade, under the parasols, the atmosphere is pleasant and very relaxing. Sitting comfortably around a table, you can have a coffee, a refreshment, an aperitif or a light meal, right by the sea. Below, on the beach, there is a playground for children. Free parking.
