Psyrri, one of the liveliest neighborhoods in Athens

Psyrri is one of the old neighborhoods of the historic center, right next to Monastiraki and Ermou Street. Once a district of craftsmen and workshops, today it is known for its narrow streets, street art, small shops and a lively atmosphere from lunchtime until late at night. It is one of the favorite places to eat in the city, for Athenians and visitors alike.

Greek cuisine in the heart of Psyrri

At Alysso you will find the dishes you would expect from a good Greek restaurant, cooked with respect for tradition:

• Moussaka, the classic, baked in a clay pot.
• Slow-cooked lamb shank and lamb chops.
• Octopus stifado in red wine, grilled squid and grilled sea bream.
• Meze to share: stuffed vine leaves, fried feta with sesame and honey, three dips, mussels steamed with ouzo.
• Greek salad, Cretan dakos, salads and vegetarian and vegan options.
