Breakfast Homage to Melina
Low-key
Melina
(Lysiou 22, Plaka; Akropoli, Monastiraki)
is an ode to the late, great Mer-
couri. Decorated with memorabilia and photographs celebrating Greece's legendary
actress and politician, it offers charm and intimacy out of the hectic centre.
Shopping Adrianou
Plaka is loaded with so-so vendors - instead, head to its best shops, the ones Atheni-
ans frequent.
Ioanna Kourbela
( 210 322 4591;

; Adrianou 109 &
Hatzimihali 12, Plaka; Sytnatgma)
designs classic, cool women's clothes: elegantly draped
cottons and silks in natural, warm tones.
