Fare Magazine – Issue 19: Athens

A Coffee Table Mags pick for those who eat their way into a city’s soul — Fare is the most honest food travel magazine in print, one city at a time.

Fare is a food-focused travel magazine, exploring the depth of culture in a single city.

Each issue of Fare is a 200-page deep dive into the culture of a single city, led by locals. Rather than a guide, it's a timeless collection of stories from those who know the city best.

Athens’ ancient soul is the stuff of legend, but the modern city holds its own marvels. From the glistening port to its storied tavernas and lively kafenia, the Greek capital is more spirited than ever.

In Fare Athens:

• Step down into the koutoukia, Athens's traditional basement eateries, for long nights of retsina and rebetiko.

• Join a running route through the mountains of Ymittos, where a local shares stories of the Athens marathon both ancient and modern.

• Head to Piraeus for lunch at a bakalotaverna – a grocery store-taverna mashup – that's been serving port workers for over one hundred years.

• Try house-made yoghurt drenched in honey at one of the city's last remaining dairy bars.
