Mornings in Koukaki are filled with the smell of fresh bread and strong coffee. Just steps from your apartment, family bakeries serve koulouri sesame rings, spanakopita (spinach pies), and sweet bougatsa straight from the oven. If you prefer a slower start, settle into one of the area’s specialty cafés where baristas craft espresso, flat whites, and cold brews, often alongside generous brunch menus.
