A place for meat lovers: Kalyvia
A Place for Meat Lovers in Attika
If you love meat, you must check out Kalyvia - a small village in Attika, not far from Athens (about an hour’s drive). It might look quiet and simple, but it’s famous among locals for one thing: amazing tavernas that serve some of the best-grilled meat in the country.
Think: tender lamb chops, juicy souvlaki, homemade sausages, and crispy fries served with lemon and oregano. Most places grill the meat over charcoal, so you get that delicious smoky flavor. Portions are big, prices are fair, and the vibe is super relaxed - perfect for a Sunday lunch with friends or family.
The area is full of traditional tavernas lined up next to each other. No fancy decor - just good food, friendly service, and the smell of grilled meat in the air.
Pro tip: go hungry and make a reservation on weekends, because it's a popular spot, especially with Athenians on a food mission.
