Marathonitis tavern — Restaurant in Athens

Let's get straight to it. Marathonitis Tavern is something special. Αn unassuming gem tucked away in in a basement, but don't let that fool you. Inside, it's all about the authentic old-school Greek charming tavern vibe.

Picture this: big wine barrels lining a wall (they make their own wine, and it's great).

The food? Solid. Those lamb chops? A must-try. Everything on the menu is spot on. And the prices? You'll be doing a double-take at the bill, in a good way.

Now, the best part – the atmosphere. It's like you're right in the heart of Greece. The live music (not on weekends) is a fantastic mix of classic Greek songs. And the crowd – mainly university students – keeps the energy up.

In short, if you're looking for a place that's not just about good food but also about a real Greek experience, Marathonitis is your spot. For food, atmosphere, music, service, and value, it's a resounding yes from me. Highly recommended for anyone looking to dive into the real deal of Greek...

We went on Wednesday night 3 of us. We were lucky to get a table there it was fully packed, while ordering the server told me to order different items than I was planning to order, at first I thought he is trying to sell me what ever they need to push, but when I tried what he suggested and what I ordered I understood that he was helping me, the sheep chops and the beef liver on charcoal was something else superb, thank you for your hospitality and love, a place I would visit everytime I come to Athens. Do yourself a favor and dine like Greeks do. House wine and great atmosphere with live...
