π¦ Atlantikos A highly-rated seafood spot β expect queues! Seafood Platter: 3 types of seafood, fried squid (crispy outside, tender inside β the best!) Grilled Thrapsalo: Squid was a bit tough and not very sweet Potato Garlic Sauce: Garlic potato dip with olive oil on top Orange Pie with Ice Cream: My favorite! π A classic Greek dessert β soft, cinnamon-scented, with a sweet-sour orange flavor. Loved it! πΆ β¬10-15 per person π Opos Palia A hidden gem β even our taxi driver said itβs delicious! Moussaka: Greek national dish β cheesy, minced meat, eggplant, potato (like Greek lasagna) Grilled Calamari: The best squid we had in Greece β sweet and thick! Stuffed Vine Leaves: Traditional dish with a minty/weird spice taste β not for everyone Eggplant Salad: Chilled, slightly spicy and sour β almost Chinese-like seasoning πΆ β¬10-15 per person π₯ Street Souvlaki A popular local grill spot! Pork Gyros in pita with onion, tomato, tzatziki, and fries β refreshing and filling! πΆ β¬5-10 per person π― Fresko Yogurt A famous yogurt chain β try the 10% fat Greek yogurt (thick and smooth!) Toppings: Hazelnuts + honey β highly recommended! Greek coffee: Traditional unfiltered coffee β bitter and acidic π πΆ β¬5 per person π¨ Gelato Caramel A high-rated ice cream shop β Greek-style "Pagoto" (richer than Italian gelato!) Baklava & Cheesecake flavors β both creamy and delicious! πΆ β¬5 per person π« Solo Gelato-Gelateria Award-winning but disappointing β rum raisin and yogurt flavors tasted cheap and powdery πΆ β¬5 per person π§ Share Wish Locally recommended bubble tea β try the Shanlinxi Green Tea with Cheese + Boba (Guanyin tea base). The classic milk tea with coconut jelly + boba + brown sugar pudding was okay, not great. πΆ β¬5 per person π₯’A Xi Breakfast Overhyped Chinese breakfast β iced soy milk tasted like sugar water, and the soup dumplings seemed spoiled π΅ πΆ β¬2-5 per person Enjoy eating your way through Athens! ποΈβ¨ #GreekTravel #AthensFood #GreekCuisine #LocalEats #FoodieGuide
