Central and with a bohemian vibe, Petralona is found between busy Thiseio and trendy Koukaki. Once a residential working-class district, the area has had a boost in popularity over the last few years, and new bars and eateries have established themselves, putting Petralona firmly on the neighbourhood nightlife map.

Line
A new addition to Kato Petralona and the latest offering from the team behind The Clumsies, voted in the top 50 of best bars in the world, and the Three Cents soda brand, Line is an all-day spot that combines elements of a wine bar, a café, and a restaurant. A handsome green front door opens into a minimalist industrial space that used to be an art gallery, leading onto a pretty tree-lined yard. Keen on experimentation and sustainability, there are open workshops where vermouths, bitters, and other mixers are created with unusual ingredients. The beer offerings are from on-site microbreweries, the terrific bread is baked in-house, while wines are from small producers or fruit wines from apples, figs, or pomegranates brewed on the spot. A menu overseen by Michelin-starred chef Pavlos Kyriakis is short and designed to pair with the inventive and unusual cocktails made from their homemade ferments. Bold, daring, and a little off outré, a new chapter in Athens gastronomic scene is being written here, sure to be included on that 50 World Best Bar List soon too.
