You step off a sun-warmed pavement in Monastiraki as the city shifts toward evening; the Acropolis watches from its limestone hill while a salt-tinted breeze from the Saronic Gulf nudges through narrow alleys. Street vendors call softly, and the clink of plates and the hum of conversation pull you along a four-hour loop of tastes and textures — from piping-hot souvlaki to silky olive oil and the bright tannins of indigenous Greek wines.
