Best & Cool Bars in Greece

"Couleur Locale has an incredible overall setting and vibe, but finding the entrance is like a little treasure hunt. To get there, you go down a quiet alley, head through what seems to be an antique store, and finally go into an elevator with a blue glass wall. At the top floor, you’ll be greeted with a view of the Acropolis perched above."

"Hidden in a street near Monastiraki station Couleur Locale is a popular rooftop bar where you can admire the view of the Acropolis Hill and Plaka. At the terrace, you can enjoy your coffee, delicious cocktails, and creative snacks. Couleur Locale has a welcoming atmosphere and is particularly popular with young people."

"Six dogs is one of the most popular garden cafes in Athens, perfect for a hot summer day!. People take a break from walking in the bustling city center in this beautiful secret garden that can be found just a few minutes away from Monastiraki square. It has become one of the trendiest social hangouts for the locals, while at night, it hosts a multitude of cultural events, including gigs of bands from across the world."

"It is a multi-room where the alternative Athens is expressed. It has a multilevel garden available for cocktails or snacks and it is always full of students, kept as a common secret of all the non-mainstream Athenians. In the Gig Space there are concerts and club nights, as well as events that attract loads of young people."

"Six d.o.g.s is the favorite place to hang out for fans of the underground techno scene. This highly avant garde locale, situated in the business centre of Athens, is actually a day/all night cultural centre which can host live gigs, performances, exhibitions, shows and parties."

"Just behind a small park on Spirou Merkouri Street in Pangrati lies Hippy3. By "lies" we mean exactly that: this all day café-bar oozes a laidback, anything goes vibe that encourages lingering as long as you like over a coffee. But what we think the place is best for is its brunch."

"Map • +30 21 0325 1444 • Nearest Metro: Monastiraki Bustling Italian restaurant offering thin-crust pizza, pasta, risotto, and gnocchi paired with delicious Greek and Italian wines and creative cocktails.

"Pizza with some German and Italian flavours at School Bar Pizza|© School Bar Pizza. A great place to savour some of Athens’ pizzas and other tasty Italian cuisine is School Pizza Bar. Nestled next to an arcade on Eirini Square, the cool, classroom-inspired interior welcomes customers from morning until late at night."

"It’s a little pricey, and fills up fast—especially on weekends—but it’s worth the splurge. Besides the croissants (which you should try no matter what), there are lots of other pastries, from pain au chocolat to feuillete. You’ll also find a mortadella sandwich with fleur de sel and the Queen Bee club, starring delicious prosciutto from San Daniele."

"Philos is a lifestyle store on central Solonos street, which was created as a meeting point for people who want to discover the philosophy of Philos Athens and see the objects on show, which are selected for their timeless value and design. At Philos visitors can enjoy a complete food and design experience on the various levels of the space. On the ground floor, at the restaurant-cafe you can enjoy delicious specialties and see the fashion objects, accessories and clothing."

"Philos, located in the ultra-chic Kolonaki neighborhood, serves generously sized brunch portions of Greek and American fare in a gorgeous space. The high-ceilinged building reminded us of some of our favorite interbellic buildings in Bucharest, but the decor and food at Philos are 100% Greek. Hungry for some Greek yogurt?"

"This place is not only a café, there are also different meeting spaces for art lovers or people working in other industries. There is also a store that sells clothing and homeware at level one. The coffee is great and there are many different kinds of it."

"Eirini Square, where most of the students gather all day long in order to hang out with their friends. Here you can try muesli with milk or yoghurt, homemade cereal bars with honey and nuts, omelette or scrambled eggs and mouth-watering club sandwiches. (Aiolou 27A, Ag. Eirini’s square, €€)"
