Ideoli travels the world for business and is lucky to experience new cultures. Our latest travels brought us to the impressive city of Athens, Greece. Athens is a lively city, full of history and beautiful architecture. From touring the amazing Acropolis to experiencing the culture will definitely make you hungry. Join us as we explore the city to find the top five things to eat and drink.
#1) Kooroo Cheese Pie: A pie with simple ingredients, a buttery dough and a feta cheese mix. Ariston, located in Syntagma square has been serving this magnificent pie every day since 1910.
#2) Freddo Coffee: This is espresso coffee stirred with ice for freddo espresso and fresh milk for freddo cappuccino. Gives you the spark that you’ll need to start or continue your day. We suggest Kaya coffee house for best results.
#3) Local Pie: Cheese pie isn’t the only type of pie that you can ask for while in Greece. The tiny “Pie Shop” offers sweet or savory pies with exquisite taste from around the world.
#4) Souvlaki: This could definitely be the only thing to eat in Athens while hungry. Souvlaki is pieces of pork meat placed in a pita bread with pieces of tomato, red onion, tzatziki (a yogurt and garlic based sauce), parsley, salt and pepper. We suggest Kostas right next to Electra hotel and Thanasis for a more Middle East kebab style souvlaki.
#5) Take away Cocktail: A nice idea while strolling the streets of downtown Athens is to take your cocktail with you on the road! TYCO offers great cocktails for those who want to do exactly that!
Le Grec Ice Cream: As a bonus tip, visit “Le Grec” for a scoop or two of the finest ice cream that you can find in Athens, made with top quality ingredients found in different parts of Greece. From Acropolis hiking to driving e-scooters to eating Kebabs, there are so many things to do and enjoy in Athens to get yourself invigorated.
