Sebastian- We just got back from Athens and we checked out some of your suggestions. Tylixto (wraps were fantastic), Klimatira (lamb w/potatoes and octopus w/rice) Atlanticos (calamari, fried sea bass) and enjoyed the food. All were well priced and tasty food. All had long queues but we were seated after a short wait - well worth it. Thanks so much from Toronto, Canada. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

To Kati Allo, very close to the Acropolis was lovely. Very old fashioned home style cooking. Really feels like home cooked food.

Sebastian, as always a very informative video but I have to admit that my wife and I have been to Athens twice in the past 2 years and both times stayed in omonia square, never once felt threatened either by day or night, yes it isn't the most aesthetically pleasing neibourhood of Athens but we loved it and will definitely return, just to add that my sister visited Athens and had her bag stolen in plaka so I guess it can happen anywhere, keep up the good work love seeing your videos

@@GreeceExplained it was pretty good! I ordered Pad Ki Mao with beef. And my wife ordered the Yellow curry dish with chicken. It was a little different than I am used to, and she took it to go so I could eat it later. I heated it up for breakfast the next day and it actually tasted better the next day!

We had lunch at “To Steki tou Ilia” a few weeks ago , the weather was perfect for sitting in their outside area, food was delicious I had fava spread and the Biftekia with tzatziki and horiatiki all excellent! My family who is local suggested it and it did not disappoint! Thank you for all the suggestions I will make sure to try some of them on my next trip!

I was in Athens for 6 days earlier this month, went to 3 of the 5 recommened in this video around city center. Klimataria was my favorite, actually went there for my first meal in the city after recommendation from the hotel staff. Really set the bar for the rest of the trip. I also recommend Psaras Tavern on the picturesque stairs path in Old Plaka, and Nolan for interesting Japanese/Greek fusion. And if you're going out to the islands, every meal I had in Naxos was outstanding and had something new to me.

Thank you for your time and effort to educate future tourists. I am so glad I found your channel, it helps me do my homework to prepare for my trip in June. I won’t be able to go to the islands, but want my teenagers to have a beach experience by the sea in Athens. Would you be able to make a video about it or recommend one? I truly appreciate your work! 😊🎉

Sebastian, your videos were much appreciated during our visit to Santorini, Meteora and Athens in January/February. Santorini weather was mostly sunny and nice and nowhere was crowded. Oia is stunning and the highlight of the trip. While there I got tonsilitis and a local doctor saw me, prescribing antibiotics and refused any payment.

Please do not give false information!A taxi from plaka/acropolis to Prigipas in Exarcheia costs 4-5 euros, that is what the taximeter will show. Even if you book a taxi it is plus 3 euros so 7-8 euros in total!!15 euros is certainly not a price that anyone should pay for such a small distance!!To all the tourists in Athens just watch the taximetre!And ask from the beginnig what the extra cost is for booking a taxi !Anything over 3-4 euros is a hard no!

Do Athenians eat at restaurants? Can they afford the cost? I think they eat at "tavernas" - if and when they feel "large" - or, even worse, they cook at home. Let's be realists! 🙂
