Hytra Athens

Hytra sits on Petrou Kokkali Street. It is a twenty-minute walk from the Acropolis Museum and holds a Michelin star.

The restaurant serves modern Greek and Mediterranean food, and the room runs smart and elegant. While most visitors congregate in the tight, crowded lanes of Plaka or beneath the Acropolis, this venue chooses a more open, calculated approach to its surroundings. You come here for the precision of the kitchen, which feels far removed from the hurried pace of the historic centre. It is the better choice for those who prefer their Greek cooking with a sense of distance from the main tourist trail.
