🇬🇷 Is Athens the Best Food Capital in Europe? 🏛️

After eating my way through Athens for four days, I can honestly say I enjoyed every single Greek meal — not one disappointment! The food here seriously suits the Chinese palate 😋. It’s truly delicious, affordable, and budget-friendly: Around €15+ per person including drinks €20+ with seafood No mandatory tipping! 💶 🍽️ Must-Try Greek Dishes Greek Salad – Fresh veggies with feta cheese, like little tofu cubes 🥗 Moussaka – The national dish, similar to eggplant lasagna 🍆 Souvlaki – Grilled skewers wrapped in pita bread 🥙 Other classics: meatballs, sausages, grilled meat, seafood, and more! 📌 Restaurant Picks My Airbnb host also shared a whole list — no ads, just honest recommendations (see last slide). 1️⃣ Karamanlidika 📍 7-min walk from Monastiraki Square ⭐️ Rating: 5/5 Unique Greek dishes with almost Chinese-like flavors! Each table gets free ham and yogurt. 💡 Often busy — better to book in advance. 2️⃣ Thanasis 📍 2-min walk from Monastiraki Square ⭐️ Rating: 5/5 A beloved local spot for souvlaki — packed with locals drinking and dining on weekends. 3️⃣ Opos Palia 📍 2-min walk from Acropolis Museum ⭐️ Rating: 4.5/5 Casual street-style dining — their grilled squid is a must! 4️⃣ Kalyvas Family Grill 📍 12-min walk from Acropolis Museum ⭐️ Rating: 4.5/5 A no-frills local grill joint — generous portions, great value. 5️⃣ Grande Dame Athenian Tavern 📍 6-min walk from Syntagma Square ⭐️ Rating: 4/5 Upscale taverna serving grilled meats and octopus. 6️⃣ LIONDI Traditional Greek Restaurant 📍 1-min walk from Acropolis Museum ⭐️ Rating: 4/5 Slightly touristy but tasty — they might recommend pricier dishes though. 7️⃣ Stani 📍 2-min walk from Omonia Square ⭐️ Rating: 4/5 Famous yogurt spot — the honey yogurt and Napoleon pastry are quite sweet. Try in moderation! 💡 Tips Portions are generally large and come with bread, pita, or yogurt — one main dish is usually enough. Make reservations if possible, especially in summer! ☀️ #GlobalEats #FoodieCapital #EuropeanTravel #GreekFood #AthensEats #FoodWithoutBorders
