A
staircase leading down into a swirl of sounds and smells is too intriguing to
walk past.
The sweet and unmistakable scent of basil is the first of many aromas to wash over the diner as they enter into a world almost completely gone from the streets and neighbourhoods of Athens.
The basement space is filled with very old large wooden wine barrels full of white wine (lefko), tables, chairs, diners, plates of honest, old school Greek food,
and metal karafes which are placed on small disks of ice to help the wine cool down.

The
colours of terracotta and green, are popping out of this whitewashed space
which only sees a suggestion
of direct sunlight. It is a blissful situation.
