Food in Athens is a matter that will not give you a hard time at all, as there are more than 5,000 restaurants, taverns, fast food stores, bakeries and take-away stations! There is a quite wide range of options, while during the last few years the scene of the city has been enriched with various new cuisines, which daily gain big fans. But the city also loves vegetarians, as apart from Vege-restaurants, the other restaurants have also adjusted their menus in order to satisfy this group. For a full meal with wholesale wine you will pay 16-20€ per person, while for a fast food sin around 2-3€. Do not leave Athens without having tried the amazing meats, fish (from the clean waters of the Mediterranean), the horiatiki (village) salad (especially in the summer), the authentic taramosalata, the Greek feta cheese and, of course, the famous Kamalaki wrapped in pita bread!
Important: a) Quality/traditional flavors you will mainly find in areas such as Agia Paraskevi, Korydallos, Paleo Faliro and Nea Smyrni b) The “taverna” that you will come across everywhere is the Greek folk restaurant that serve exclusively Greek cuisine. The atmosphere in taverns is friendly and the flavors have aspects of the sea, the mountain and the fruitful land of Greece.
