Here’s a roundup of

the most talked-about spots and events to explore in the Greek capital.

Hotel Éternité: A Theatrical Cocktail Experience in Kypseli

Inspired by the 2020 National Theatre production Hotel Éternité, this new bar in Kypseli invites guests to step into a timeless world of relaxation and indulgence. The bar’s concept revolves around savoring the moment, with a menu of cocktails, wines, and Mediterranean-inspired dishes curated by sommelier Chrysa Giatra Batzis and chef Marianna Boikou. The retro-chic interior, designed by architects Zoe Moutsokou and Konstantinos Zves, completes the experience.

Ephemeral Party: Art Takes Over a Kolonaki Parking Garage

Before officially opening, the new Carco Parking in Kolonaki has transformed into a temporary art gallery, hosting the Ephemeral Party exhibition. Featuring works by 19 Greek and international artists, including Yannis Tsarouchis and Konstantinos P. Kavafis, the exhibit explores themes of time, dreams, and memory. The three-level underground space adds an interactive twist, with artworks hidden in unexpected corners.

Via Maris: A Vermouth Haven in Psyrri

This new hotspot in Psyrri is making waves with its focus on vermouth and Mediterranean-inspired sharing plates. Via Maris (Latin for "Road of the Sea") draws inspiration from ancient trade routes, offering a dozen vermouth varieties from Italy, France, Germany, and Greece, alongside a curated wine list highlighting Greek vineyards.

Mary, Marianna, Maria: A Documentary on Maria Callas’ Greek Years

A must-see for opera lovers, this documentary sheds light on the lesser-known early years of Maria Callas in Nazi-occupied Athens. Directed by Vasilis Louros and Michalis Asthenidis, the film features rare archival material, including Callas’ final rehearsal recording in Paris. Praised by critics, it’s a poignant tribute to the legendary diva.

Ypsala Anapsyktirio: A Modern Twist on a Neighborhood Café

This cozy spot in Kypseli has replaced an old grocery store, offering a menu rooted in Cretan and Greek flavors. With a focus on high-quality ingredients from Crete, Mani, Naxos, and Lemnos, Ypsala Anapsyktirio is quickly becoming a local favorite.

From the team behind the popular wine bar Bless Me Father, Starlight is a burger joint that’s taken Athens by storm. Their smash burgers, made with black angus beef and fluffy potato buns, have gone viral, alongside sides like crispy chicken wings and curly fries. Prices range from €9 to €13.50.
