Stop by Souvlaki O Kostas, a long-running Athens counter that keeps its menu short and its prices low. Order pork souvlaki or beef kalamaki and eat them in the park next door.
Full description
Souvlaki O Kostas is a compact takeaway-style shop with very little seating inside, and a sign on site says it has been trading since 1950. The menu is deliberately simple: pork souvlaki and beef kalamaki are the items reviewers order, praised for strong flavour and low prices.
There can be a queue and little room to wait, but service is described as kind and efficient, and most people take their food to eat outside, including at the park beside the shop. It is a quick, authentic stop of around half an hour that suits solo travellers and anyone after a cheap, local lunch.

Delicious and super worth the wait. inexpensive, great takeaway, super flavorful!! I would definitely come back for the beef souvlaki! Service is kind and efficient. It is quite busy and there is not much room to sit inside. Washrooms are downstairs.
