The Best Wine Bars in Athens
6 wine bars in Athens ranked by our editors.
Athens wine bars champion Greek producers — Santorini Assyrtiko, Naoussa Xinomavro, Nemea Agiorgitiko — alongside the broader Mediterranean. Greek wine is one of the most underrated wine regions in Europe and Athens is the place to drink it deeply.
The bars cluster in Koukaki, Kolonaki, and Psyrri. Most run 100 to 200 bottle lists with deep Greek focus and a small Italian and French layer.
Order an Assyrtiko (Santorini white), a Xinomavro (Naoussa red), or any Greek indigenous variety the bartender recommends.
