Searching for the best ‘tiropites’ (cheese pies) in Athens, all roads lead to downtown! Although it is rather unlikely that you will be disappointed if you choose any central bakery or snack cafe (there are everywhere, even in the most tourist areas), certain places have earned a reputation among Athenians and there is a good reason for that. I selected three of them plus four snack cafes where you can try lοukοumàdes, the Greek doughnut.

Street food in Athens (the traditional way…)
Tiropites, koulouria, loukoumades … Walking around the streets of Athens it’s hard not to notice the countless shops, bakeries, cafes, bars, plus street vendors selling tempting foodstuffs. As appealing as they may be, the fact that they are so many and various and that it’s not easy to identify the ingredients, it may discourage the less experienced, especially the vegetarians… It would be such a pity not to taste some!
Corinth to Athens without tolls
This route is recommended to those who are not in a hurry and who share our view that motorway driving is boring and sometimes frustrating, a kind of waste of time. If you are not convinced, yet there is another reason to prefer toll free routes: paying for motorways could be a waste of money too. The toll rates for the Athens-Corinth stretch is 10 euros (price for RVs) for a distance of 46 km. Is this an exaggeration or a joke?
