Bairaktaris is however the temple of Greek style meat: souvlaki, kebab, gyros

There's the Athens on the way of creative cuisine, without forgetting its tradition, as we explained here. But in the Greek capital, as in all of the Mediterranean area, food means two things above all: conviviality and products. The first can be found in many, excellent taverns scattered around the town, where large tables celebrate the ritual of eating together dishes based - and this is the latter element - on simple yet delicious raw materials that do not require too much alchemy in the kitchen.

koulouri, the classic breakfast snack in Athens

koulouri, the classic breakfast snack in Athens

A food trip to Athens cannot do without a cultural starter. Visiting neighbourhoods such as Plaka and Monastiraki (perhaps profiting of the excellent electric bike guided tours offered by Solebike) before climbing on the Parthenon is pleasant. You certainly shouldn't miss the beautiful Museum of the Acropolis, where perhaps you might even stop at the restaurant on the second floor: it offers a panoramic of Greek gastronomy, with cheese from Crete, lentils from the north, salami from Lefkas and so on.

North of Monastiraki, the neighbourhood of Psiri hosts the largest city markets and lots of craveable shops that deserve a visit. Since this is not a tourist area, few people speak English so joining the walking Food & Wine Tour offered by Athens Walking Tours, discovering the most authentic shops, would be of great help.

The meat market

The meat market

Whatever you may choose, the day can only start with breakfast. Greek style. That is to say a few cigarettes and a koulouri (a doughnout shaped bread with sesame seeds sprinkled on top), or perhaps a little tiropita, a sort of savoury pie filled with feta and, mostly, spinach (Greek pita is a round, leavened flat bread, made with wheat. In Calabria it is called “pitta”, and according to some the word “pizza” comes from this).

Is this too light a breakfast? No problem since traditionally the Greeks have many meals and snacks: after the above mentioned breakfast, there's a snack at 11 – perhaps just some bread seasoned with tomatoes and extra virgin olive oil – and then lunch at around 2,30 pm, a snack at 5,30, until supper between 9 and 10 and even later in the summer.

The fish market

The fish market

For sure, the style behind these snack breaks remains the same: in Athens, just like in all of Greece, people never give up on the tradition of dishes closely recalling the so called Mediterranean diet. Seasonality is important. Every break is in function of a life style in which food is strongly connected with social life: main meals require the family to be reunited; so, for instance, it is hard to find authentic shops open at lunchtime, as their owners will be dining with their children after school.

In the photo gallery, our trip around the best food spots in Athens.
