Gazi-Thiseio

Thiseio or Thissio is the name of a traditional neighbourhood in downtown Athens, Greece, northwest of the Acropolis, 1.5 km southwest of downtown. Long ago, the name was derived from the Temple of Hephaestus which was mistakenly known as Thiseion in reference to Theseus, the mythical king of Athens, which gave rise to the neighbourhood being named Thiseio.
The area has many cafés and cultural meeting points. Thiseio is served by the nearby Thissio ISAP station or Thiseio metro station. (By Wikipedia)

Nerantzi

Nerantzi takes you to the urban Athens with the black and white floor - looking as a chess board, the stained glass decorations and the unique furniture.
An old shop, one of the many that once existed to Monastiraki, was restored with incredible love, revealed all the individual traditional and neoclassical elements of the building. In the restaurant there are various tables and chairs different from each but tied harmoniously under chandeliers in front of the impressive old metal kitchen
Nerantzi is the place where you can find Greek traditional dishes created under a modern culinary look, special wines but also the first coffee of the day or the last drink of the night. (http://www.nerantzi.com.gr/)
