Our Take
Monastiraki's Hidden Acropolis-View Rooftop
Couleur Locale is hidden on the rooftop of an unassuming Monastiraki building — you walk through a passage and take an elevator to the top. The view of the Acropolis is direct and dramatic. The cocktail program is simple but well-built, the food is Mediterranean small plates.
Lower-key than the famous Plaka rooftops, with the same Acropolis view. The crowd is locals, expats, and savvy tourists who've found the spot. Reservations recommended for sunset.
Pair with The Clumsies after for a more precise cocktail experience.
What to Order
Aperol Spritz
Aperol, prosecco, soda. The Mediterranean afternoon default.
Couleur Mojito
White rum, mint, lime, soda. Refreshing and properly built.
Greek Mule
Tsipouro, ginger beer, lime. The local twist on the Moscow classic.
Champagne by the Glass
For the Acropolis sunset.
