Bakeries & Pastry in Athens

Savoury pies take up as much of the Athens bakery counter as sweets do. Ariston on Voulis, a few streets from Syntagma, draws reviews about tiropita, spanakopita, cheese-and-onion and chicken pies; it opens at 7:30 AM and closes on Sundays. Thiseio Bakery on Nileos in Thiseio is open from 6 AM to 10 PM every day for coffee, sandwiches, pies and baklava, and Boutique Bakery on Themistokleous serves breakfast from 6 AM on weekdays, while Lycabettus Bakery in Kolonaki, closed on Sundays, draws reviews about sourdough and cookies. Several suburban patisseries keep late hours: Patisserie Lux in Chaidari and Napoleon Patisserie in Glyfada are open until 11 PM, and Marell Patisserie in Ilioupoli until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. On the coast at Vari, Drossos Bakery opens at 6 AM every day. Where a price is listed, €1–5 is the most common band.
