Timeline
13:00
Grab a seat at Greek Islands for a relaxed lunch. As one of the biggest Greek restaurants in the city with about 400 seats, it is the perfect spot to enjoy seafood, lamb, or chicken without waiting long for a table.
13:30
Walk five minutes to the National Hellenic Museum. Arriving just before 16:00 lets you explore the glass building and Greek relics in the softening afternoon light, avoiding the peak midday rush.
14:15
End your walk at Spectrum Bar & Grill, just three minutes from the museum. Order an ouzo or saganaki to match the Greek theme of your day. The bar is open late, making it a easy stop to cap off the evening.
Local tip
The museum is open Thursday through Sunday from 10:00 to 16:00. Arriving before the 16:00 closing time ensures you have enough time to see the exhibits before heading out for your final drink.
