Fare #19 Athens

Fare aspires to follow connecting stories at the heart of a city's culture.

Each issue of Fare revolves around a single city wherein readers are guided through town by locals: down backstreets, and through forgotten histories, to local institutions and diverse neighborhoods—meeting amazing individuals, and learning more about the local food than just its taste

Each issue of Fare also includes a glossary of local terms, a helpful reference point for readers as they delve into the exoticism of a new culture and city.

Fare #19 Athens

Athens’ ancient soul is the stuff of legend, but the modern city holds its own marvels. From the glistening port to its storied tavernas and lively kafenia, the Greek capital is more spirited than ever.

Step down into the koutoukia, Athens's traditional basement eateries, for long nights of retsina and rebetiko.

Join a running route through the mountains of Ymittos, where a local shares stories of the Athens marathon both ancient and modern.

Head to Piraeus for lunch at a bakalotaverna – a grocery store-taverna mashup – that's been serving port workers for over one hundred years.

Try house-made yoghurt drenched in honey at one of the city's last remaining dairy bars.

200 pages of full-colour photographs, illustrations, original articles, interviews and essays.
