Nolan is a new restaurant in the centre of Athens, in a small but well known street just below Plaka and very close to Syntagma Square and the Athens Cathedral (Metropoli). It is an asian-greek restaurant and that is why it is worth a visit: you can enjoy unique flavours and two different cuisines combined! It is a small hidden gem.

A very well known French bartender, Romain Krot, came to Athens and opened this brand new cocktail bar with a greek friend of his. Lately it has been the talk of the town! A colonial style place with an African touch and the best cocktails. There are 4 cocktail categories, each one with a different name of a wild animal, an animal that you would see in a safari. The bar is only 3 mins away from the apartment, so I suggest you check it out!
