Hippy3 is a lively little gastropub that’s popular among a varied mix of an upwardly mobile, young professional clientele and a smattering of tourists of the same genre. The popular bar does a great job of producing pop-food favorites like burgers, pizza and tacos. Just happens to be a great spot for breakfast, serving up scrambled eggs and, of course, avocado toast. It’s our favorite gastropub in Athens.
Our favorite little haunt in Koukaki is the cafe cum bistro called Neratizia, on the ground floor of a small boutique hotel of the same name. The little cafe opens early and offers a wide range of breakfast favorites, from pancakes to scrambled eggs. For lunch and dinner enjoy Greek classics prepared with a little modern-day flair. Great spot!
