With excellent home-style cooking, this modern taverna lives up to its name (meaning ‘homey’). It’s decorated like a cosy bistro, and tables on the footpath allow people-watching without the usual Kolonaki bill. Pastas, salads and international fare are tasty, but try the daily mayirefta (ready-cooked meals), such as the excellent stuffed zucchini. Book ahead on weekends.

Cheese in Kolonaki
Fun fact: Greeks eat the most dairy in Europe, an average of 30kg per person per year. And when you visit Kostarelos, you might see why. The long-established family dairy business is now an elegant little deli and sandwich shop that caters to cheese lovers in all ways, whether it's saganaki (fried cheese), fondue or creative sandwiches.

364 Leof. Andrea SiggrouSo close to Athens you can get there on the tram, the beach at Asteras in Glyfada extends all along the little peninsula and offers not only a dip in the sea, but a variety of other amenities too. In the resort complex, you can also find the Balux Café - the House Project, a unique space designed to resemble a rambling beach house, including a pool (just to switch it up), a kid-friendly playground, and a great kitchen for when hunger strikes.
This is a great choice for a bargain day by the sea if you don’t have access to a car - entry is 5 euros, 7 euros on the weekend, and includes sun chair and umbrella, and access to changing areas and showers.

This beach is one of the classics of the Athenian Riviera, and Astir Beach provides literally everything you might want for a day by the seaside. Squishy sun chairs for relaxing under the umbrella, full showers for rinsing off afterwards, a snack bar for nibbling, free wifi, organised beach sports… you can relax and feel sure that all your needs will be catered for. A little button on your sun chair means you can order munchies without even getting up. The beach can get crowded, especially at the weekends, but there’s always a sign at the entrance that announces if the lounge chairs have all been rented out. If you're on a budget, the nearby beaches of Vouliagmeni are good alternatives.
