Victoria Kyriakopoulos

"Venture into the streets of Plaka, passing by the Roman Agora and the Turkish Baths, before heading to the Monastiraki to initiate yourself with a souvlaki at Thanasis."

Milou van Roon

"Thanasis - the best souvlaki in Athens."

Gerard Bao

"The verdict — it’s the first I’ve ever had it on a skewer and I thought it was good. In keeping with tradition, we ordered fries (to stuff in the Souvlaki) and a Greek salad. Wash it down with a Mythos beer and that’s what I call a blog worthy lunch!"

Vinna Baptist

"Thanasis is THE place to have your experience of souvlaki in Athens."

Jen Grasso

"If you’re exploring the ruins of Athens, make sure to eat like the Gods at Thanasis. Their secret herbs and spices make their Souvlaki the one that can’t be missed. Sit outside and watch passers by or grab a table inside and relax while you dine, but don’t miss a chance to eat souvlaki at Thanasis."

Nadia Massachou

"A classic choice in the heart of the city in Monastiraki offering a good taste of Greek cuisine. Enjoy the famous (since 1994) kebab or juicy souvlaki with fresh Greek salad, cool tzatziki and chips on the side."

Matt Barrett

"Ask any taxi driver which is the best souvlaki shop and they will tell you it is Thanasis across the street."
