We are almost talking about a neighbour here, and what a neighbour! Akropolis is probably one of the best greek tavernas in Rome, and it is so close to Trastevere Bed and Breakfast you will be there before you know it. Owned and managed by Antonios, a Greek guy from Crete, and his son Gabriele, Akropolis will satisfy both light appetites and night cravings. Have a seat at one of its simple tables, surrounded by every greek item you can conceive and actual greek music – not the touristic kind.
Our advice is to start with a selection of the world-famous Greek dips: tzatziki (yoghurt and cucumbers), melintzanosalata (aubergine dip), tahini (sesame paste) and taramosalata (fish eggs paste), accompanied by the mouth-watering pita (greek bread). Then you can go straight for the meat (souvlakia or gyros), served in pita bread with delicious fries on top, or pick other greek specialties as the dolmades (stuffed vine leaves) or the melintzanokeftedes (amazing aubergine croquettes). This is just a first idea of what you will find. Add greek wines and spirits and desserts, and you will find a place that will make you come back. You can also choose take away.
Akropolis is open Tuesday to Sunday, evenings only, 19:30 to 23:30. Reservations are usually not accepted, so make sure to be there early, especially on weekend when finding a table can be a mission impossible.
