Blues brothers Coffee Shop

A hip coffee shop with creamy coffee and good tunes. Enjoy a "freddo" espresso or cappuccino, splendid ice coffee drinks, to help you beat the heat.

💡

Walk to the Acropolis from here and enjoy the unique art and souvenir shops in the area!

Acropolis
Acropolis 1
1 / 4

A stunning reminder of the power of ancient Greece, where Olympus held dominion over all and democracy was just being born in the minds of men.

💡

We discovered that even during peak tourist season, you are still able to buy same-day tickets during the last entrance times during the evening! And there are less tour groups and tourist, in general.

Anafiotika Cafe
Anafiotika Cafe 1
1 / 4

Come enjoy amazing Greek food under the Acropolis at this relaxed rooftop restaurant in walking distance of the Acropolis.

💡

Introduce your kids to tzatziki, a delicious cucumber and thick yogurt dip offered at all Greek restaurants and you will see your kids eat veggies with gusto!

4
Goat It Ice Cream
Goat It Ice Cream

This smooth, creamy ice cream made from goat's milk from Crete comes in multiple flavors-my favorite is pistachio! It hits the spot even at 11pm on a hot summer night!

💡

Great motivation for the kids-we leisurely walked towards Syntagma Square eating our ice cream

Monument to the Unknown Soldier
Monument to the Unknown Soldier 1
1 / 2

Watch the procession of the changing of the guards at the top of each hour.

💡

By going at night, you are more likely to have a "front row" view to the changing of the guard ceremony with minimal tourists.
