great place to sample ultra-traditional Roman dishes such
as spaghetti all’amatriciana, vignarola (a spring vegetable
and ham soup) and carciofi alla giudia (crispy, deep-fried

Trattoria Monti
Tiny, stylish and always full, Monti (3) proves that the trattoria formula – mum in
the kitchen, sons working the room, tried-and-tested flavour combos – can be given
a gourmet twist without sacrificing the warmth, conviviality and good value that the
word trattoria evokes.
Trademark dishes of the Marche-influenced menu are the tortello al rosso d’uovo
(raviolo, filled with spinach, ricotta and egg yolk and topped with fresh tomato
sauce) or the coniglio in porchetta (baked rabbit with pork roast stuffing), but it’s all
good – and the wine list, which leans towards verdicchio and other marchigiano
varieties, is a delight.

and slides for the kids), Remo (6) serves up good Roman-style flat pizzas,
with all the classic toppings, to a loud and appreciative audience. The
tomato and basil bruschettas are also excellent. Beer, water or soft drinks
are the liquids of choice; they do have wine, but it’s pretty rough. To secure
one of the few coveted outside tables you’l l need to come early, or wait
your turn, as they don’t take bookings.

Plaka Athens's oldest residential quarter. Retaining a quaint village atmosphere, despite
the hordes of tourists, its cobbled streets are lined with pastel-coloured neo-
classical mansions, small hotels, souvenir shops and bustling tavernas.
Notable sights include the Museum of Traditional Greek Instruments, the
Museum of Greek Folk Art and the 12th-century Byzantine Little Mitropolis
Church. Metro station: Monastiraki or Acropolis.
Mt Lycabettu See the whole of Athens in one go from the city’s highest vantage point
(970ft) (5), capped by a tiny, whitewashed church, a restaurant and café. Nearby,
carved into the rocks on the north-facing slope, Lycabettus Theatre stages open-
air concerts, with recent performers including Placebo, Groove Armada and
Rufus Wainwright. The steep path up zigzags through pinewoods and sub-
tropical vegetation. Alternatively, catch the funicular from Ploutarchou Street in
Kolonaki (every 30 minutes, 9am-3am).

rugs and locally-produced cheese.
