4 Of Our Favorite Bakeries In The City Center
Greece’s gastronomic culture is one of the most celebrated in the world and is a reason why millions of tourists visit the country every year. And, although most are eager to try feta, gyros, or tzatziki, the Greeks’ love for pastry and baked goods doesn’t go unnoticed by fellow travelers. 
 
From village (choriatiko) bread to filo-based sweet and savory pastries like bougatsa or spanakopita and sponge cakes soaked in syrup like revani, Greece has a long history of baking that goes back to ancient times. 
 
Here’s a small list of our favorite bakeries in the heart of Athens to get a taste of authentic Greek baked delicacies and kickstart your day most deliciously!
