About Gregory's Monastiraki
Gregory's (Grigoris), Greece's own coffee and snack chain, right by Monastiraki Square: cheap and cheerful freddo espresso, cappuccino, fresh sandwiches, koulouri and pies, perfect for breakfast on the go. Branches all over Athens. Monastiraki is the lively bazaar quarter below the Acropolis, with its flea market, Ottoman mosque, the Ancient Agora and rooftop bars facing the Parthenon, and its metro station links to the airport and Piraeus. Greek coffee culture is unhurried: order a freddo espresso or freddo cappuccino, the iced coffees Athenians drink almost all year, and linger as long as you like.
