Restaurant Elaia

A journey through time… where Melina Mercouri mesmerised Jules Dassin in Sixties cult movie Never On Sunday...today, Elaia offers us a journey through time and tradition.

In one of Plaka's most central and beautiful spots, Elaia offers you a wonderful dining experience in a carefully appointed space in which attention has been paid to the most minute aesthetic detail for it to be in harmony with the heritage and culture of the area. Particularly during the summer months, guests can enjoy a breathtaking view stretching from the Acropolis to Lycabettus Hill from Elaia's atmospheric rooftop.

At Elaia, history meets traditional tastes and flavours. The experience of a journey through time and the senses is the trademark of our cuisine, offering select Greek dishes with the taste and flavours of Crete: savoury and sweet traditional Cretan pies and other delicacies are some of the typical choices that will tantalize your taste buds.
