Athens 🇬🇷 Where Divine Temples Meet Earthly Delights
A food & scenery diary of gods and mortals ✨ 🍽️ A for Athens Rooftop bar with Acropolis views (but mind the minimum spend & €50 deposit!) Highlights: Grilled baby squid 🦑: Tender and flavorful! Tri-tip Black Angus 🥩: High-quality steakhouse level. Minced hogget kebab: Skip it—just not good. Lemon pie: A zesty cookie-like dessert—personal favorite! 💡 Tip: Great for drinks with a view; portions are small for the price. 🍽️ Dionysos Zonar’s 🍷 My favorite meal of the trip! €50 deposit required, but the Acropolis backdrop is magical. Highlights: Creamy carrot soup 🥕: Sweet, velvety, and elegant. Tomahawk steak 🥩: Charred crust, juicy center—meat heaven! 🌊 Athens’ Seaside Escape 📍 Leof. Poseidonos 20, Alimos 174 55 A random Google Maps find—perfect for breezy afternoons! Park full of dogs 🐶 + grilled corn vendors 🌽 = pure joy. Or dine here: 🍽️ Peñarrubia Lounge Open chicken + bread: Weirdly addictive! Fruit waffles 🧇: Crispy with rich chocolate sauce. Chicken fillet pancake 🥞: Surprisingly tasty combo! 🍽️ Arcadia Bold flavors (warning: salty!) Highlights: Mixed grill platter: Massive, smoky, but heavy on salt. Archaic mousaka (eggplant + lamb 🍆🐑): An acquired taste—friends loved it! Angus ribeye 🥩: Solid mid-tier steakhouse quality. 🌆 Final Thoughts No strict plans, no glittery luxuries—just real Athens. Midnight streets still buzzing with life. Every local greeting us with "Wish you all the best!" A city once ruled by gods, now alive with human warmth. I’ll forever miss its chaos, its salt-kissed seafood, and the smell of grilled corn by the sea. #Athens #GreekFood #AcropolisViews #TravelDiaries #EatLikeALocal
