Discover Brettos, a Plaka institution lined with hundreds of glowing bottles. Taste Greek spirits like mastika and rakomelo, or order a creative cocktail in its dimly lit, colourful room.
Full description
Brettos is a bar in the Plaka district whose back-lit walls of colourful bottles make it one of the most photographed interiors in the city. It serves Greek spirits such as mastika and rakomelo, neat or in cocktails, and reviewers praise both the creative drinks and the friendly, knowledgeable staff.
Prices are budget-friendly for the setting, and it opens from morning to 2 AM, so it works as an afternoon stop or a late nightcap. The dim, colourful room feels distinctly local rather than polished.

DELICIOUS LIQUOR! Oh my goodness the mastika and rakomelo were so delicious! We tasted them separately and had them in a cocktail as well. The experience was so lovely because Kris was welcoming and kind. Highly recommend this spot for a break from the sun and a refreshing drink.
