That's a great story about Thanasis restaurant and its famous kebab in the Dimopratiriou square. The restaurant has been a part of the city's food culture since 1964 and has served the same high-quality kebab all these years. Many Athenians' childhood memory of visiting the restaurant with their grandmother is a lovely touch.
Waiting in a long queue to taste this "exotic" treat sounds like a true testament to the popularity of the kebab, and the fact that they can enjoy a takeaway wrapped in pita or sit and enjoy a whole plate of kebabs at the restaurant is an excellent story of how the Kebab was introduced for customers.
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.
Don't be afraid to get lost in new places!
