Authentic cuisine can be found among some of the most popular restaurants in Athens. Throughout the city, both tourist hotspots and backstreet bars will demonstrate there's more to Greek cuisine than Moussaka and a plate of grilled meat.

Traditional Greek Food in A Local Taverna

Foodies can enjoy a traditional Greek meal at a super price. So if you're travelling on a budget, we'd highly recommend this particular experience. As with many "all-inclusive" menus, you can sample as much food as you like.

Not only that, but the restaurant is located in one of the most stunning areas of Athens. An inviting menu includes plenty of fish and meat dishes, along with a variety of salads. There is also a glass of red or white wine included with each meal, along with a shot of Ouzo.

Traditional Dinner in A Greek Tavern

This is a lovely way to enjoy an authentic Greek meal in Athens. One which is tucked away from the tourist areas. Although you won't need to worry about getting lost, as private transport is provided from your accommodation.

The restaurant itself can be found in the P. Faliro neighbourhood, a popular region among the locals. As a traditional Greek tavern, there's an amazing atmosphere with fun and friendly staff.

As such, you can feel relaxed, ready for an authentic dinner of traditional Greek recipes.

Romantic Dinner On the Top of Lycabetus Hill
