About this tour
This late evening walk covers Koukaki's small wine bars, a neighbourhood that grew into a nightlife spot only in recent years. Thanos shows a narrow bar stocked with smaller Greek producers and the residential street where several similar bars have opened nearby. He explains how the area changed once the Acropolis Museum opened close by.
Thanos checks the connection inside the first bar before stepping out onto the street, pointing out other spots as he passes them. He answers questions about the wines and the neighbourhood's recent growth as he walks. A short list of the bars and producers mentioned follows the call.
This suits travellers interested in Greek wine who want recommendations beyond the well known bars in the centre. It also works for anyone staying in Koukaki who wants a local's route for the evening.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
