Stop by Lukumades for a plate of Greek honey donuts in the middle of Athens' shopping streets. Pick a creative flavour such as pistachio, pair it with coffee or tea, and share if you can.
Full description
Lukumades is an urban dessert shop dedicated to loukoumades, the Greek fried dough balls, served in both classic and inventive versions.
