A gastronomic morning walk in the center of Athens

The other day I was hosting friends representatives from "Slow food" of Italy, in the context of discussions about the gastronomic communities of Greece and especially of the Cyclades. At some point the hot question came in. Tomorrow morning we have a gap of 6 hours. What do you suggest to us, here in the center?

I did not miss them, because I had made sure to have powder. The proposal I had made and published - the first part - in the current 2 boards of Athens Airport. Only I concentrated it and suffered… in 6 hours.

Get up with soup at Double door the irresistible Greek box, which works during market hours, from dawn to dusk,

The Porto, Athens

Visit to Barbecue an hour to admire the Aegean fish. A sea bream in Karagianni to better consolidate the market atmosphere.

A walk to Plaka and a coffee at Melina cafe and to recall the battle he fought for the Acropolis Museum and the return of the "Elginians" - the stolen baggage of Elgin δηλαδή

A walk in Abyssinia, shopping in its shops and of course a light meal in Abyssinia coffee, in fact a Slowfood representative from neighboring Bulgaria found the Kozani iprakia the same as theirs… "This is the Balkans, it's not a joke." I had ordered the main meal in Karamanlidika! Because it is more Balkan!

From Monastiraki we made a short detour to enter Euripides from Klafthmonos square and we were on Fokionos street at Heteroclito and we tried wines from small producers.

This was followed by shopping at Euripides, admiration for his pasturma Arabian and a heavier meal at Karamanlidika. Here we enjoyed her delicious recipes Stella Spanou with its materials Image. Pastroumades with eggs, kavourmades with potatoes, sausage variety.

The friends had fun and are preparing for their return to Athens and the Cyclades in September. The morning walk in the center of Athens had convinced them!
