Akamatra

Meteora & Thessaly


From the outside, Akamatra looks like all the tavernas in the lanes east of the ancient theatre. Inside, though, it’s a veritable Aladdin’s cave, festooned with fairy lights and colourful artwork. Settle into the cosy interior or garden courtyard and relax over fine food – from pasta with mushrooms and truffle oil to Greek grills and burgers – at very reasonable prices.
