Top 5 places for ice cream and gelato in Athens

Ice cream and gelato undoubtedly make everything better and should not be missed when visiting Athens.

Here, we give you the top 5 spots in the Greek capital:

Dolce far niente

This tribute could not but begin with the tiny Dolce far niente. Its colour and signage will undoubtedly remind you of a corner in Italy where you can enjoy delicious gelato.

Ricotta gelato, cinnamon cookie, dark chocolate sorbet, or the one with the green apple. Whichever flavour you choose, two things are certain: you will add a dollop on top and return to Dolce far niente the next time you want ice cream.

Tsami Karatasou 26, Athens

Django

Near Makrigianni, Django has been offering one of the best ice creams in Athens for years. The art of ice cream is combined with a zero-waste philosophy, resulting in the enjoyment of unique flavours.

15 Veikou Street, Athens

Chara

Chara has been serving Athenians authentic Constantinople flavours and Meraklidiko Kaimaki for half a century now.

The legend of Patision, with its fanatical fans, takes you on a journey to another era you may remember as a child or have seen in a movie.

You will taste your ice cream in a stainless steel plate with the cookie on top.

339 Patision Street, Athens

Green Park

Let's move to Green Park in Pedion tou Areos. This historic venue, which became synonymous with Athenian entertainment when it opened in the 1930s, has been given a new lease of life.

You can enjoy a cool Chicago ice cream in an oasis where trees provide shade, and birds chirp melodiously.

It may not be an ice cream shop, but if you want to relax and enjoy your chocolate ice cream, whipped cream, and crunchy almonds, Green Park is definitely a destination.

22 Mavrommataion, Athens

Kokkion

Kokkion could be the temple of ice cream that makes you happy.

There is no easy way to describe the taste of Kokkion. If you have not tried it, adjectives cannot capture the absolute of its taste.

The raw materials here, such as fresh cow's milk from northern Greece, are the beginning and the end of their creation. They are combined with impeccable know-how and, of course, memories.
