Top Tables: Waterfront
Akti Restaurant
For a taste of the islands without leaving the mainland, Akti brings neutral-toned, beach-chic Mykonos to Athens. The menu changes seasonally, but there is a consistent focus on line-caught seafood and local produce that reflects Greece’s most iconic flavors. Akti is open lunch until late, and there is a DJ—expect a young, hip crowd. Leof. Poseidonos 6
Ithaki
Located on the Athenian Riviera by Asti Beach, Ithaki serves high-end Asian fusion in a buzzy, beach club atmosphere. Apollonos, Vouliagmeni 166 71

Varoulko
This is a favorite restaurant of many Athens’s insiders, such as Lena Korres, founder of the international beauty line. The fish dishes, like kritharoto (a Greek risotto with crayfish), are exquisite. There is no real menu, so just go with what is fresh that day. Akti Koumoundourou 54, Pireas 185 33
