Bairaktaris Central

@GreekLikeMe

The best option here is to order a gyro to go from the corner opposite the main restaurant. You pay the first guy, then you tell the sandwichmaker what you want on your gyro. Think Katz's deli but in Greek! Don't forget to tip your sandwichmaker!

Varvakios Market is Athens' main public marketplace for fresh meats, seafood, produce, cheese, olives, and herbs and spices.
