Just magnificent!.... Efgharisto polee for this....I am guessing this would be early 90s!?.... when I began loving his music with Mitropanos.... Dalaras is from Syros where my best Filo lives with his family and we saw him in concert at the end of summer in Platia Miouli from their office balcony.....Just too much to describe in words.... Kalley Mera!

Proper Greek Coffee in Athens?

It’s been over 10 years since I’ve been to Athens, and I’m heading back soon. One thing I’m really looking forward to is sitting down for a proper Greek coffee—but I want the real deal, not some watered-down version in a touristy café.

Back when I visited years ago, I remember stumbling into a tiny place with older locals playing tavli, strong coffee being brewed in briki pots, and that unmistakable smell of roasted grounds—it was perfect. Of course, I didn’t write the name down, and who knows if it’s even still there.

Any recommendations for places like that? Somewhere that serves traditional Greek coffee, in an authentic, no-frills environment where you actually feel like you're in Greece, not just a photo-op café. I’d love to hear about your favorite spots, especially if they’re a bit off the beaten path.

Info About the Psyrri Neighborhood in Athens?

Hi everyone! I’m planning a trip to Athens and considering staying in the Psyrri neighborhood. I’ve never stayed there before, but I keep hearing that people really love it—something about it having great character, food, and nightlife. I’d love to hear more from those of you who’ve actually stayed there or spent time wandering around.

What’s the vibe like during the day vs. at night? Is it walkable to the main sights like the Acropolis and Plaka? And how does it feel in terms of safety, especially for solo travelers?

I’m also curious about where the best local spots are to eat or grab a drink—any favorite tavernas, bakeries, or cafes you’d recommend in the area?

Would really appreciate any insights, especially from people who know Athens well. Is Psyrri worth it, or should I look elsewhere?

Thanks in advance!

Athens - Historical Sites I May Have Missed?

I’m gathering information for a potential future trip to Athens. I’m Greek and have been to the city many times over the years, but I’ve realized there’s still so much I haven’t explored—especially when it comes to lesser-known ancient sites.

I’m really interested in hidden gems of Ancient Greek history—places that aren’t on every tourist itinerary. I already know the Acropolis and the major museums pretty well, so I’m looking for smaller ruins, overlooked temples, or quieter archaeological spots that might be a little off the radar.

I’d love to hear about places that feel special or atmospheric, even if they’re not as polished or popular. Bonus if they’re easy to reach from the city center, but I’m open to anything meaningful.

If you’ve come across anything like that, I’d really appreciate your suggestions!

Nighttime view of the Parthenon?

I’ll be in Athens soon and I’m especially excited to see the Parthenon lit up at night — I’ve heard it’s magical when it’s glowing above the city.

I’d love your tips on the best places to view it after dark. I’m open to rooftop bars, scenic streets, or quiet local spots where you can just sit and take it in. I’ve seen some photos from Lycabettus Hill and Filopappou, but I’m wondering what else people recommend — maybe somewhere less crowded?

Bonus if there’s a view with dinner or drinks involved, but I’m just as happy with a peaceful nighttime stroll and a clear view. I have been to Athens plenty of times - I just never really thought about where to go at night to have a great view.

Best Athens Restaurants with Acropolis Views?

I’ve been to Athens many times over the years, but one thing I never get tired of is a great meal paired with an Acropolis view. I’ve already been to a few of the classic spots, but for my next trip I’d love to branch out and try something new, maybe somewhere a little unexpected, or a place locals actually enjoy as much as visitors.

I’m open to anything: modern Greek, traditional tavernas, rooftop bars with small plates, or even hotels with great terraces that allow non-guests. What are your favorite restaurants in Athens with Acropolis views?
