Drupes & Drips

Acropolis Area


A coffee to speed your step up to the Acropolis in the morning, or an Aperol spritz or glass of wine to soothe you into the evening on the way down – that's what this pocket-sized cafe/wine bar is all about. Pair your drink with a small plate of something, usually involving the bread from Takis Bakery across the way.
