This is another fantastic secret little spot in the centre of Athens. It's hidden inside an old courtyard of a traditional Greek home. Outside you can hardly notice it and the road looks a bit dodgy, but don't be scared. When you find the door with the TAF sign outside, just push inside and you will be surprised at what you will find; after all this is the beauty of Athens.
