Gluten free · checked October 29, 2026
Athens is surprisingly easy for coeliacs: two fully gluten-free Greek restaurants side by side under the Acropolis, gluten-free baklava and pies, and gyros in a gluten-free pita.
Έχω κοιλιοκάκη. Δεν μπορώ να φάω καθόλου γλουτένη, ούτε ίχνη. Το πιάτο ετοιμάζεται χωρίς διασταυρούμενη επιμόλυνση;I have coeliac disease. I can't eat any gluten, not even traces. Is this dish made with no cross-contamination?
The whole kitchen is gluten free. Order anything.

Send them this before their trip. Save the places to your Chef Amazing and he'll remember them for you, with what to order.
How Chef checks: every place here says it on its own site, or a coeliac writer who ate there does, and we link which. We checked on October 29, 2026. Kitchens change, staff change: if it's coeliac disease, say so every time. Photos marked "a photo like it" aren't of that place. No place paid to be here.

I have coeliac disease. I can't eat any gluten, not even traces. Is this dish made with no cross-contamination?
Chef Amazing remembers every place you ate, keeps the lists friends send you, and helps you cook it at home.
