Lexikopoleio

Athens Tattoo Studio

Tattoo shop

😠 Their first response to the review was rude and accusatory They have since changed it to apologetic - very insincere because that is not how we were treated. Made reservations months in advance for 4 artists for 4 adults. Confirmed with them multiple times that 4 artists were available - they said i...

Jazz In Jazz

Bar

👍👍 Hidden gem. A small bar with an impressive list of choices, especially for whisky enthusiasts. Even if you are not a fan of jazz music, this is still an excellent choice as the music is not very loud and the atmosphere is very warm and welcoming. The only "drawback" is that it tends to get crowded e...
