Athens, Greece
Where to eat near the Acropolis
10 places within 15 minutes on foot of the Acropolis. Start with To Kati Allo, 8 min walk: whatever is cooked that day: moussaka, stuffed vegetables, meat dishes.
The trap to skip
The tavernas on Adrianou Street with someone outside talking you in. Go up into quieter upper Plaka, or to Psiri.
