“Anefani” means came to light, emerge. When the Argonauts had to survive a fierce storm in their expedition, they asked god's Apollo for help. He then launched a golden arrow into the storming sea waves and made an island out of the water where the argonauts took shelter. The island which emerged (Anefani) was called Anafi, one of the Cycladic islands. In the middle of the 19th century, the residents of Anafi, who were skilled builders, came to Athens to construct king Othona's new palace. They settled on the Acropolis' foothills building the scenic district of 'Anafiotica' named after their beautiful island Anafi.
The Anafi restaurant offers live music performances in the evening, usually starting at either seven or eight o'clock. It is recommended to book a table in advance for the live music event, although it may be possible to attend if there are available seats earlier in the evening. The live music performance features traditional Greek music, and there is no additional charge to attend.
Take an evening stroll through Athens' busiest nightlife streets to a traditional-style restaurant in the famous "stairs" street, and admire views of the illuminated Acropolis, Wind tower, and Wind Street with its numerous restaurants and churches.
