About Le Greche

Le Greche was born of maestra gelatiere Evi Papadopoulou’s studies at the Castalimenti pastry school in Brescia, and her gelato is made from scratch with ingredients picked from Greek and Italian producers. On Mitropoleos Street, steps from Syntagma, the flavours are kept in covered steel pozzetti in the Italian way, and the shelves carry Italian pasticceria, panettone and nougat. There are further shops in Kolonaki, Neo Psychiko and Agia Paraskevi. Our advice: pair a nut gelato with a fruit flavour, then pick up a slice of tart from the pasticceria.

Our take

Gelato kept in traditional pozzetti
