If ever there was a hidden gem in a city it’s Pecati.

Please note: Some restaurants mentioned are located in the north and south of Athens. Don’t let this discourage you as Kifissia [north] and Glyfada [south] are only a 25 minute drive from downtown Athens. They can also be reached by train which will take approx. 30 minutes from Monastiraki Square station. Enjoy and Kali Orexi!
