A Quick Guide To Athens' Best Coffee Shops
There is no doubt that it is virtually impossible to select the best coffee shops in Athens, given the wide selection on offer. Big and crowded cafeterias on a square plus small and cozy bars hidden in small alleys are legion in Greece as Greeks enjoy the beautiful art of coffee. In recent years, however, a rise in specialty coffee shops has been observed, and though these cafés and bars may not be considered the best of the best, they all have that je ne sais quoi, which make them stand out.
