Coffee shop et salon de thé Athens

Timetable

In Athens, every hour is a good time to take a break! The terraces of the cafes and bistros, in the shade or in the shade, are ideal to recharge your batteries between two visits during the day. You can also take the opportunity to relax in the museum cafes/bistros, during opening hours, which are located in the center of the Greek capital. The prices are a little higher than elsewhere, but the atmosphere and quality of service will reward you. For a longer break, opt for the suburbs to the north of the capital or the Riviera to the west.

Budget & Tips

A cocktail costs an average of €9, a beer between €4 and €6, and a cold coffee between €3 and €4. Remember to leave a small tip of around 10% of the bill, as in Greece this is not included in the price.

It' sa good idea to make a reservation when you choose to have a drink or a meal on a hotel rooftop or in a popular club, to avoid waiting lists. As a general rule, open-air bars don't worry too much about the number of customers.

Age restrictions

The consumption of alcohol is forbidden to unaccompanied minors under 18 years old. In all bars, several trendy drinks and cocktails are available for minors to enjoy a pleasant evening with friends or adults.

What's very local

Athenians like to take a coffee break around 10:30 and in the early afternoon. We meet up for an aperitif break between 4 and 6 pm, after work. But young people flock to the terraces at any time of day, especially in season. Nightlife in Athens starts after 10pm and lasts until dawn! As a general rule, bars close around 2:30 a.m., but as the party can start at any time, closing time often depends on the general atmosphere!

Smokers

Smoking is strictly prohibited in museums and archaeological sites and inside the facilities.
