🇬🇷 Athens Food Guide | Truly Impressive! 🗺️‼️

*"At that moment, all taste buds were awakened, as if having a silent dialogue with the food, and a sense of satisfaction arose in the heart." – A Bite of China We spent 13 days in Greece – here are my personally tested restaurant recommendations! 👇 🏛️ Athens ❶ Koukatsi (⭐4.8 – Top !) Mediterranean cuisine – packed even at 10 PM! Must-try: Smoked steak – rich flavor, tender yet chewy (not like Chinese smoked meat!). ❷ Atlantikos (⭐4.0) A Xiaohongshu-famous seafood spot (street seating). Fresh seafood – octopus is springy but slightly overcooked. ❸ This is LOCO (⭐4.5) Strawberry cheesecake – thick, melt-in-your-mouth cheese + sweet-tart jam. Also great: Breakfast bowls and coconut fruit bowls! 😋 ❹ Cycladic Cafe (⭐4.0) Inside a museum – elegant ambiance. Very "white people food" but decent. Their bread is chewy with strong wheat flavor! 🌅 Santorini ❶ Lotza Restaurant (⭐4.2) Overlooking the cliff houses and sea! Fresh mussels + Moussaka (Greek national dish: eggplant with minced meat and cheese). ⚠️ Long queues at mealtimes! ❷ Melenio Cafe (⭐4.5) Ate cake here two days in a row! Heavy cheesecake and chocolate cake – rich but not overly sweet. 🏖️ Crete ❶ Chrisostomos (⭐5.0 – Must Go!) Locals love this place! Grilled lamb shoulder – €13.9 for two huge pieces! Tender, non-gamey, crispy outside, juicy inside. Best food in my 13-day trip! ‼️ ❷ Pork Beef Wild (⭐4.8) €5.9 for a sandwich-burrito hybrid! Always crowded – unexpectedly delicious. Better and cheaper than Santorini’s Yogi-Gyro. #TravelFood #HiddenRestaurants #GreekCuisine #AthensEats #FoodGuide 🏛️🍴✨
