Thiseio may be a little touristy, but it’s still a wonderful destination for lunch or dinner after a leisurely walk along the most scenic pedestrianized route in Athens, which extends from Dionysiou Aeropagitou to Apostolou Pavlou streets. If, however, you’d rather feel more like a local, you can take the metro (green line) to Petralona, which is one of the up-and-coming, though still picturesque, areas for lunch, dinner or even brunch. If you don’t mind walking, you can also ask for directions and walk to Petralona by taking the charming route behind the Acropolis, and around Philopappou hill until you reach Stisikleous street in Petralona.
