It’s never easy to choose a restaurant to have dinner in a city that consists mainly of eateries, bars, esplanades and rooftop terraces! Athens, a city drowned in cultural history but arising again as one of Europe’s hottest places to be. The street art filled facade’s give away the artistic outlet valve of the younger generation Athenians. The city is clean and bustling!
