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/)

Tatoi Palace

Tatoi was the summer palace and 10,000 acre estate of the former Greek Royal Family, and the birthplace of King George II of Greece. The area is a densely wooded southeast-facing slope of Mount Parnitha, and its ancient and current official name is Dekeleia. It is located 27 km from the city centre of Athens. (By Wikipedia)
