Athens — the bank

Worth the ride — Kolonos & Moschato

Residential streets hiding serious cooking.

Kolonos and Moschato are nobody's idea of a destination — ordinary residential Athens, a taxi ride from wherever you're staying — and that's precisely why they're on this page. Some of the most honest cooking in the city hides in streets like these, kept alive by neighbours rather than reviews. Both entries are the full experience: you go, you briefly wonder where you are, you eat tremendously, and you talk about it for a year. Pair Moschato with a walk in the Niarchos park before or after.
