Athens, Greece的景点
Traditional Sweet Dishes
Baklava
Baklava from Athens layers paper-thin phyllo with chopped nuts and sweet syrup, creating a crunchy, sticky pastry that has been treasured across the Mediterranean for centuries.
Loukoumades
Loukoumades are bite-sized honey-soaked dough puffs that trace back to ancient Greece, and they were reportedly offered to Olympic victors as a sweet prize.
Kataifi
Kataifi wraps shredded phyllo around nuts to form a delicate, nest-like pastry, the result is a lacy, crunchy texture that stands apart from other sweets.
Traditional Savory Dishes
Moussaka
Moussaka stacks eggplant, spiced meat, and creamy béchamel into a savory bake, and its modern layered version blends Ottoman flavors with European techniques for a truly comforting dish.
Souvlaki
Souvlaki is skewered meat grilled over charcoal and sold at bustling street stalls, its history echoes ancient Greek feasts where small roasted meat pieces were a favorite.
Gyros
Gyros feature thin slices of meat cooked on a vertical rotisserie, inspired by Ottoman doner kebab, and they became a beloved fast-food staple across Athens after the mid-20th century.
Traditional Beverages
Ouzo
Ouzo is anise-flavored and famously turns milky white when mixed with water, it became the quintessential Greek aperitif for seaside tavernas and lively conversation.
Retsina
Retsina is a wine perfumed with pine resin, a practice that began when resin was used to seal ancient amphorae, and the resin gives the wine its bold, unmistakable character.
Tsipouro
Tsipouro is a grape pomace brandy traditionally distilled by villagers after the harvest, and it is often shared with meze during long nights of storytelling and company.

Go to the Acropolis at opening or after 6pm to avoid heat and crowds, the light at sunset is worth staying up for.
Hot and sweaty in July, but rooftop bars and sunset views keep you going. Prices vary, some places felt touristy and overpriced.
Museum lines were longer than I expected, skip peak hours. Some exhibits were excellent, others felt rushed or tiny.
Never felt unsafe, but pickpocket warnings are real in crowded metro and Plaka. Keep valuables zipped, especially at festivals.
Three days was enough to see main sites, but I wanted more slow café time. Public transport felt easy once you learn the lines.
