Platanos

Escape the crowds in their peaceful, shady courtyard and try their standout moussaka or other comforting slow-cooked Greek classics.

In their own words: “Platanos is a quiet, historic taverna tucked into the backstreets of Plaka, just steps from the crowds, yet totally peaceful. It’s been around for nearly a century and has the kind of laid-back charm that invites you to linger. The shady courtyard under the massive plane tree is the perfect spot to escape the heat. Their moussaka is a standout.”
