Nikis’s place couldn’t be in a more perfect location - right at the foot of the Acropolis (exactly as advertised) and just steps to the most charming cafes and restaurants in the Plaka. Niki greeted us in person and stocked the mini fridge with some snacks to get us started. Step out the front door and pass under a canopy of grape vines; take a right and you’re on the path to ancient ruins, or take a left and you’re just steps away from great cafes. We watched the sun rise over the Lykavittos hill every morning from the rooftop deck and it was an inspiring way to begin the day. Try Yasemi cafe down the street and O Thanassis for great food.
