On a quiet, mural-wrapped square in the regenerated Lakkos quarter, this kafeneio is the soul of the artist district - tables under a shade tree, dakos, fava, dolmades and raki with honey. Locals fill it day and night, which is the surest sign of its authenticity. The place to feel Lakkos rather than just photograph it.
