Hala says
The grandfather of Monastiraki souvlaki, six Bairaktaris generations on the same square since 1879. Yes, tourists. Yes, you'll be in someone's photo. Order the mixed grill (souvlaki, gyros, sheftalia, paidakia) and a carafe of retsina, take an outdoor table on the square, and watch the Monastiraki crowd go past. Walk in any time.
Good to know
- Price — €
