Eclectic Cocktails Over Athens: Point α Rooftop Bar

One of the nicest experiences during my last trip to Athens was a round of cocktails in one of Athens’ most exclusive rooftop bars: Point α. Stunning cocktails and superb dishes surrounded by the splendid scenario of Athens.

Impressive cocktails add a touch of drama to any evening, in fact, most signature cocktails boast names that recall Greek Mythilogy, such as Dionysus Mask or Act Two: Comedy.

If you enjoy a bitter taste, you can explore the Athenian Nectar, an aperitivo cocktail that combines ginger essence, Aperol-infused sage, coconut water, and a hint of grapefruit soda.

A Creative Palette of Dishes

Food is simply another chapter… Well, calling it food sounds reductive. It looked as if there was no kitchen involved. Masterpieces came from an artisan workshop directly to the table.

The blogging ritual of taking pictures before actually eating extended dangerously because – trust me – there was a lot to picture. And tastes lived up to visuals.

My favorite dish was the olive oil sorbet, delicate in taste and with an unforgettable presentation.

Their version of the loukoumades with manouri cream cheese and warm honey on top was terrific. I also had the traditional moussaka which was everything but traditional.

Then it was time for pasta… Now, having spent the last 15 years in Italy, hearing about pasta does not exactly stand for innovation to me. Even less when dining out of Italy. However, against all odds, the last dish I tried was ravioli with octopus ragù. A thrilling combination of textures, color, and aromas… all of it is quite close to my idea of paradise.

Heavenly Atmosphere

You can choose to relax on lounge chairs or enjoy a cozy, intimate table while candles flicker in the soft Summer breeze. Then, get ready for a selection of fancy dishes rooted in the Mediterranean tradition recreated with an excess of mastery and creativity.

On this rooftop, everything seems possible. It’s as if you could extend your hand and almost touch the Parthenon…
