it is a great example of greek meze taverna, within walking distance from the airbnb, about 600m, cozy, cool, great garden yard with a light tropical touch, ideal for a hot summer night. Not to be missed! among the most popular spots in Exarcheia.

if you can get hold of private transportation or willing to take a taxi, this is an excellent steakhouse in the forest of mount Parnitha slope with a nice elevated terrace overlooking much of athens. But the meat steals the show. Cozy in the winters and cool in the summers.

good value steakhouse with spiffy interior. Portions are huge so count for two people sharing each dish, therefore best enjoyed if several dishes are shared. Definitely go for the buffalo burger.

After exiting the building make a right and then a left at the crossroad and you will see it at your right-hand side about 100m down the road, its called EKRAN.

Parks & Nature

Recommended only for jogging! not clean enough for other activities but if jogging is your thing then you are ideally located close to one of the few parks of Athens. You can jog in its corridors lined with tall, luscious and varied vegetation.

Drinks & Nightlife

One of most cozy, lavish and atmospheric bars in town. Best appreciated in winter but fine for summer too. Nice coctails. Very buzy most of the times.

if you must go to only one terrace bar in athens that should be BIOS. Housed in a 30s art deco residence, it features beach like wood and cloth recliners in a rather futuristic atmosphere, from which you can enjoy a magnificently lit view of the Akropolis over a refreshing cocktail in a warm summer night.
