Lotte Cafe-Bistrot

A vintage cafe-bistro on a quiet Koukaki corner, Lotte feels like stepping into an old European living room — mismatched furniture, jazz and retro Greek records, and art on the walls. The homemade cakes are the draw: the orange cake and daily desserts are baked by the owner’s mother, and there are handmade savoury pies if you want something more substantial. In the evening it shifts to cocktails and spritzes. Tip: it’s just a few blocks from the Acropolis Museum, so come for coffee and cake after your visit.
