Begin your immersive journey by connecting with the essence of Greece’s rich winemaking tradition. We meet at a welcoming local café in the heart of Athens’ historic center for a private guided wine tasting. You will sample exquisite regional wines, exploring unique indigenous varieties such as Assyrtiko, Xinomavro, and Savvatiano. Learn the art of discerning quality, understand the history of modern Greek vineyards, and discover the diverse terroirs that make Greek wine celebrated worldwide. The tasting is a perfect introduction to the flavors and culture that define Greek wine, offering both education and delight for all senses.
Energized by the experience, step into the vibrant culinary life of central Athens on a guided walk. Taste the beloved Bougatsa, a delicate pastry filled with sweet custard or savory feta, from a local artisan. Navigate bustling lanes to discover authentic flavors beyond the main tourist paths. Experience the Varvakeios Municipal Market, savor a traditional Mezé plate with a local spirit, visit a seasonal farmers’ market for fresh produce, and conclude with a legendary Spanakopita. This journey leaves you nourished, inspired, and deeply connected to the true Athenian lifestyle and Mediterranean diet.

Every dish was absolutely delicious!The restaurant is known for its meat, but even though I don’t eat it, the rest of the menu is so good that you really can’t miss it. Everything was fresh, well-prepared, and full of flavor. Definitely a place worth coming back to!

Amazing all in one! The staff very helpful to explain the menu, and very efficient. Food arriving very prompt and giving us time to digest before the next course.. each dish looked amazing and tasted even better. Thank you to all.. Chef, partners and waiters we had the perfect evening.

Wow, wow, wow! The service is excellent and the outside dining was very pleasant. Perfect European cafe style with great people watching. The Greek Salad was amazing - deconstructed in a way you've never seen in a hollowed out tomato layered on feta and bread crumbs. The lamb fricassee was tender and a great bite. The mousaka was delightful - like a lasagna but with more flavor profiles. Highly recommend Ateno! Best dinner of our trip!
