Il programma nel dettaglio

Distinguished Diogenes is renowned throughout Athens for its discreet luxury and traditional Greek cuisine. Located in Lysikratous Square, Diogenes’s exceptional menu offers meat and fish dishes as well as a broad range of starters. The quality of the food and service are of the highest standard.

In a finely appointed, well-lit space, enjoy the pleasure of fine table service and exceptional food. The ambiance is truly divine with the atmosphere of an active square and mixture of visitors and local Athenians. During the summer months, Diogenes offers an outdoor venue at the foot of the Acropolis, thus combining fine traditional dining with a magical view. You may sit outside under the shade of the beautiful trees in the square or in the open balcony area. Open in the morning for coffee, Diogenes is a well-known meeting place for locals from the neighbourhood and beyond.

Adjacent to the restaurant is the Lysikrates monument, the only choregic monument to be almost completely preserved. The monument on the western side of the 'Street of the Tripods' was erected by Lysikrates, a wealthy patron of musical performances in the Theatre of Dionysus. It was to commemorate the award of first prize in 335/334 BC to one of the performances Lysikrates had sponsored.
