To Kati Allo, very close to the Acropolis was lovely. Very old fashioned home style cooking. Really feels like home cooked food.

We had lunch at “To Steki tou Ilia” a few weeks ago , the weather was perfect for sitting in their outside area, food was delicious I had fava spread and the Biftekia with tzatziki and horiatiki all excellent! My family who is local suggested it and it did not disappoint! Thank you for all the suggestions I will make sure to try some of them on my next trip!

Sebastian, as always a very informative video but I have to admit that my wife and I have been to Athens twice in the past 2 years and both times stayed in omonia square, never once felt threatened either by day or night, yes it isn't the most aesthetically pleasing neibourhood of Athens but we loved it and will definitely return, just to add that my sister visited Athens and had her bag stolen in plaka so I guess it can happen anywhere, keep up the good work love seeing your videos

We leaving Omonia as I write this. I agree with you. Things can happen almost anywhere.

Tuna souvlaki at Atlantikos was great, recommend! I was however amazed by restaurant called Soul, packed with locals for both times we went there and food was delicious, not to mention for a bargain

I was in Athens for 6 days earlier this month, went to 3 of the 5 recommened in this video around city center. Klimataria was my favorite, actually went there for my first meal in the city after recommendation from the hotel staff. Really set the bar for the rest of the trip. I also recommend Psaras Tavern on the picturesque stairs path in Old Plaka, and Nolan for interesting Japanese/Greek fusion. And if you're going out to the islands, every meal I had in Naxos was outstanding and had something new to me.

Thank you for your time and effort to educate future tourists. I am so glad I found your channel, it helps me do my homework to prepare for my trip in June. I won’t be able to go to the islands, but want my teenagers to have a beach experience by the sea in Athens. Would you be able to make a video about it or recommend one? I truly appreciate your work! 😊🎉

Sebastian, your videos were much appreciated during our visit to Santorini, Meteora and Athens in January/February. Santorini weather was mostly sunny and nice and nowhere was crowded. Oia is stunning and the highlight of the trip. While there I got tonsilitis and a local doctor saw me, prescribing antibiotics and refused any payment.

@panosliakos3653 2 ай бұрын

Do Athenians eat at restaurants? Can they afford the cost? I think they eat at "tavernas" - if and when they feel "large" - or, even worse, they cook at home. Let's be realists! 🙂

dude, you have to stop scaring the viewers with the Omonia thing... it really isn't that bad at night... as with everything, you will only find trouble if you go looking for it...

@@GreeceExplained yeah I've watched that before but like I said, if you go looking for trouble, you will find it... I've gone through both Omonia and Exarhia plenty of times at night without any issues... with my kids when they were young too... no problems...

@soniar.g.4739 Ай бұрын

I tried to go there last night but some junkie stopped me and STRONGLY advised me not to go any further, turn around and leave. If you look like a tourist, I would advise people not to go to Omonia or surrounding areas at night. It's a sad and scary place.
