Tavernas

I’ll be honest with you: eating in Plaka is a minefield. For every genuinely good restaurant, there are three tourist traps serving reheated moussaka at double the price. On my first visit I fell for one — aggressive host, “authentic Greek” menu with photos, mediocre food, and a bill that made me question everything. But here’s the thing: Plaka also has some truly excellent restaurants. You just have to know where to look. Here are the best restaurants in Plaka — the ones I’d actually take a friend to.
