Address: Lisiou 22, Athina 105 56 Step inside and you’ll instantly realise why this café-bistro is named Melina. It’s dedicated to the life of Melina Mercouri, the legendary Greek minister of culture and actress best known for “Never on Sunday.” The owner, Andreas Martzaklis was originally a waiter at the café inside the Greek Parliament and maître d’ at the Prime Minister’s office. Having met Mercouri and got to know her well, Martzaklis felt the need to create a tribute to her accomplishments. Photographs of Melina and her friends hang on the walls and you can leaf through books about her life. Café Melina is open all day. The outdoor tables are set under one of the most photographed bougainvilleas in the city. By day, it’s always abuzz with people sipping coffee, devouring chocolate cake or a bowl of fresh fruit with yoghurt. In the evening, head indoors as the sweet sounds of jazz take over the softly lit bistro.
