Greek cuisine features fresh seafood, lamb, moussaka, souvlaki, spanakopita, and vibrant salads with feta. Don’t miss meze—small sharing plates—and desserts like baklava. Pair your meal with local wines or try ouzo, an anise-flavored aperitif.
For an upscale solo dining experience, book a table at Spondi (Athens, 2 Michelin stars) or Varoulko Seaside (Athens, seafood). Enjoy elegant cafes like Noel (Athens) or rooftop bars such as A for Athens, which overlooks the Acropolis. On the islands, Mylos in Santorini and Nobu Matsuhisa in Mykonos offer exceptional views and cuisine.
Tipping 5–10% is customary but often included in the bill. Most venues accommodate dietary needs, especially in larger cities. Reservations are highly recommended at sought-after restaurants.
