Falafellas

Great falafel street food (l;€)

Falafellas Athens

Not usually thought of as a Greek dish, but a legacy of the Ottoman Empire, falafel is the equivalent of a vegetarian souvlaki.

Falafels are pita breads filled with chickpeas, tomato, lettuce, cucumber, aubergine, tomato and yoghurt sauce.

Falafellas – walking distance from the Acropolis, Ermou Street and Monastiraki is the place to buy yours.  Centrally located, it’s frequented by locals and tourists alike. Be prepared to queue, but the wait is worth it.

Messy eating so be sure to take many napkins!
