WHERE TO EAT

Ta Karamanlidika

Karamanlidika – Tα Καραμανλίδικα του Φάνη, Athens, Greece. With its butchers, beggars and braying hawkers, the central food market is a sensory assault. Take a breather at this deli-cum-ouzeri, where cheery waiters will ply you with house-cured pastrami and pickled anchovies at tiny marble tables. Sausages are strung like bunting around the deli counter: try “the rocket”, an extra spicy salami, if you dare.

• Around €20pp with wine, Sokratous 1 & Evripidou, +30 210 325 4184, karamanlidika.gr
