Psyrri, Omonia & Exarhia

Exarhia is a good bet for youthful, lively bars on Plateia Exarhion. The cheap bar pre-
cinct on nearby Mesolongiou is popular with students and anarchists. Note, however, that
Omonia at night is especially dangerous these days.

Vox BAR

(Themistokleous 80, Exarhia; Omonia) Vox is a good place to start on the square - linger
over coffee during the day, or join the crowd of liquoring locals at night.

wines and cocktails.

Blue Fox BAR

(Asklipiou 91, Exarhia; Omonia) You might not expect this in Athens, but Blue Fox is
great for '50s-era swing and rockabilly, complete with Vespas and poodle skirts.

(Asklipiou 45, Exarhia; Panepistimio) Actors frequent cool Tralala with its original art-
work, lively owners and gregarious atmosphere.

( 210 330 1246; Themistokleous 80, Exarhia; Omonia) Dip back in time to a '50s
veneered coffee shop cum rocking nightspot. Sip espresso by day and catch a rotating
line-up of live acts by night.

Tsin Tsin COCKTAIL BAR

( 210 384 1460; Kiafas 6, Exarhia; Omonia) Teeny, tiny and out of the way, but the bar-

tender is a true mixologist.
