🇬🇷 In Athens, Missing Lamb/Beef Steak Means You Visited for Nothing!

When it comes to Athenian cuisine, beyond seafood and yogurt, the legendary grilled lamb and beef stand out – said to be the world’s best! Marinated in olive oil, lemon juice, and fresh herbs, even unnamed local spots do it justice. Here are 2 century-old lamb chop spots (steakhouses next time!). First-timers: follow this guide.
