Palia Athina
Toumba's no-frills bench for offal, lamb and a serious wine list
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed June 2026
Deep in the residential blocks of Kato Toumba, Palia Athina is the old-school taverna locals send you to for the dishes the center has forgotten: slow-cooked gardoumba, herb-roasted lamb and charcoal pork souvlaki. The room is plain and the crowd local, but the cellar is one of the city's deepest in Greek labels. It runs full most nights on reputation alone.
Editor's Tip
Worth the ride out from the center; order the gardoumba and ask for a wine recommendation, the Greek list is unusually serious. Book ahead.
