Athens
Slide into this charming butter-yellow house across from a church in a quiet Psyrri side street for a warm welcome by musician-chefs Pepi and Achilleas (and their spouses), who run this excellent venue for local music and mezedhes. They'll help you order authentic Greek fare, then surround you with their soulful songs.
Wear your dancing shoes – you'll probably be moved to join in.
