About Aerides

Aerides is a café-restaurant in the small Aerides neighbourhood of Plaka, under the Acropolis, with tables set out beneath the trees. The menu is traditional Greek meze, with dishes such as grilled octopus with fava from Schinoussa, served from morning until midnight. Our advice: come in the evening, when the garden fills and the lamps come on.
