About To Koulouri tou Psyrri
Since the 1960s this small bakery on Karaiskaki, just off Ermou, has made the sesame-crusted koulouri that street sellers once carried across Athens on trays balanced on their heads. The rings still come out of the ovens warm, alongside breads, buns and simple sweet bakes. It is the city’s breakfast in its purest form. Our advice: buy them hot and eat one on the walk to Monastiraki.
