Kolokotroni 3

"Hidden behind the central Kolokotroni street, 42 bar became a sensation since day one, thanks to its mixologists and the mind blowing, totally original cocktails they prepare for you. You can get other drinks of course but, frankly, if you go to 42 you go for the cocktails - all of which are inspired by ‘The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’ by the way, hence ‘42’, the ultimate answer to life according to the series. The cocktail menu changes every three months to include only seasonal ingredients which are all fresher than air. And if that wasn’t enough to impress you, know that all syrups, as well the different flavored ices used to accompany your drink, are prepared by the 42 staff itself. If you’re a non smoker, you’ll be thrilled to know smoking is actually not allowed in 42’s chic wooden indoors (hallelujah!), but most people prefer to sit outside, in its small yard, which is great in the summer. If you don’t mind the hubbub, we suggest you sit at the bar, so you can watch the bartender put together your intricate cocktail and/or ask him or her to pick one that matches your taste.
