Program details

Embrace the Greek attitude to dinner and make your mealtimes a sacred space for feasting, friends and family at the Spilia Acropoleos restaurant. In the shadow of the holy rock of the Acropolis it feels like time has stopped in this intimate restaurant where the murals of ancient Athens seem to come alive on the walls. ‘Spilia’ means cave in Greek and this warm and inviting space really is an Aladdin’s cave of culinary treasures.

Choose your table in the cosy main room, or head out to the vine-covered courtyard to dine under the stars. Peruse the menu while you sip on a glass of wine, then tuck into tasty cheese pie, stuffed vine leaves, or minty tzatziki as an appetiser. There is so much to choose from, so why not order for the whole table and share like the locals do? Then it’s time for the mains: succulent spit-roasted chicken, beef slowly oven-cooked in a pot, or tender grilled pork. Finish your meal with yoghurt and honey or traditional baklava, tiny syrup-soaked pastries popular throughout Greece.

If you’re lucky you might catch a few local musicians singing old love songs and strumming bouzoukis round a table on the terrace. As the ouzo flows they only get more eloquent. Sit back and look up at the floodlit Acropolis and the stars above while you digest a meal fit for the gods themselves at Spilia Acropoleos restaurant.
