Aristokratikon has been making chocolates since 1928, when Panagiotis Karras arrived from Epirus and opened on Voukourestiou Street; today the family’s fourth generation runs it. Everything is handmade and fresh, from Greek ingredients, and the recipes stay secret. The Voulis Street shop is the place to choose from the trays: pralines, nut-studded medallions, truffles and marzipan, packed into the famous red boxes or luxury cases. There is a second shop in Kifissia. Our advice: build a mixed box to take home; it is the most Athenian of gifts.
