Pull up a seat at Diporto, an old-school Athens taverna that locals treat as their own. Take whatever the kitchen brings and eat simple, traditional Greek food without frills.
Full description
Diporto is a budget-friendly Greek eatery that reviewers describe as extremely local and fully traditional, with food that feels like a home-cooked meal. There is no written menu, so you rely on what is brought out, and one visitor was given bread, salad, fava soup and chickpeas.
