Belvedere ** €4

Yet another typical coffee place, right at the corner of the square so that you can see anyone that's passing by.

Pizza me to metro ** €2

When the pizza slices served here are hot, this place in unbeatable. But sadly you can't count on that every time.

Chef ** €3

Ultra-cheap crepe place, albeit not the greatest.

To Tavernaki ** €15

Typical taverna fare, slightly better than the average. No smoking inside! (which is new).

Avanti Cafe ** €5

Yet another typical cafe, with nice views over the small garden/park in front.

Friday's *** €18

Great for food as well as for coffee, this amazing restaurant at the top floor in Pagkrati has great views. Especially in the summer you can sit outside in the patio and enjoy a nice warm evening. The Jack Daniel's series of dishes is to die for.

Soko Gelato *** €6

Yes, there is italian-style gelato in Athens. Albeit not perfect, there is a great variety of flavors and the quality on some of them is way above average. A must-try.

Pizza Hut *** €15

The Greek Pizza Hut is the best Pizza Hut I have ever tried. May it be the fresh ingredients, or the fact that it's not that industrialized, but especially when you dine at the restaurant the taste is superb. Yey!

PItes ton Aggelon ** €8

Yet another souvlaki joint in Galatsi. Late night, nice souvlakia, and a teverna vibe. A typical fare.

Flocafe ** €5

Nice chain of cafes around Greece - with nice selection of coffees and cool ambience.

Sunrise Cafe ** €5

Veikou street has a number of nice coffee shops along its stretch, and this is one of my favorites because of the super-comfortable couches.

Melathron ** €5

Μέλαθρον

You typical coffee place, very close to the NTUA campus. The people coming here are 90% students.

Crepilateion **** €5

Κρεπηλατείον

This incredible tiny joint - in the shape of a train wagon - serves superb crepes until very very very late night. Ideal to try after a night out. There is no sit-down service, but there is a small room with benches to sit down for a few minutes before you get going again.

Singore Pizza **** €15

One of the premier pizzas in Greece, this small chain located in Patra offers superb pizzas. They are probably influenced by the Italians just across the Adriatic sea!

Posto *** €8

Yes, this is one of the best souvlaki places in Lamia. Must-try, also offers delivery service.

Naranha *** €5

Nice where you can sit outside. Also serves superb, creamy, super-thick hot chocolate.

Viva ** €5

Nice little cafe in Lamia with the usual offerings and great ambiance.

Araksoboli ** €17

Αραξοβόλι

Nice little ouzeri in Lamia. Fairly cheap, casual setting, with patio and indoor seating. Typical ouzeri fair.
