Categories: Dining | General | Traveling

Located on the museum's lower level beneath the main galleries is a secluded inner courtyard and garden cafe that many rushed visitors completely overlook. Surrounded by classical architectural elements, olive trees, lavender, and replicas of ancient statues, this lush patio offers a quiet sanctuary away from bustling Patision Street.

It is an ideal spot to order a refreshing Greek Freddo Espresso or herbal mountain tea while digesting the wealth of history you have just seen. The cafe is accessible during your visit, allowing you to rest your feet before continuing to the second-floor vase and ceramic collections.
