Athens' highest-ranked bar, built around fermentation and sustainability. Expect natural ferments, house-made ingredients and cocktails unlike anything else in the city. Kolonos is a residential district north-west of the centre, near the hill where Sophocles was born. Athens nights start late, with bars filling after 22:00 and many staying open into the small hours.

Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with Line before you go.
