Brettos

Destinations

The oldest distillery in Athens—and one of the prettiest

Since 1909, Brettos has lit up Plaka with its iconic wall of technicolor bottles and artisanal Greek liqueurs.

At the oldest distillery in Athens, the first thing you notice is the beautiful décor of brilliantly colored bottles. The color spectrum in contrast to the 200 year old building is, moreover, spectacular. Moreover, a flight of Ouzo awaits!

Insider Insight

The secret? Brettos produces a selection of rare, small-batch liqueurs that you won’t find anywhere else. Ask about the Mastiha, a unique Greek liqueur made from the resin of mastic trees on Chios Island, or try their signature ouzo and tsipouro, both crafted using recipes passed down for over a century. Regulars often get a sneak taste of experimental batches, so if you strike up a conversation with the bartender, you might just get to try something truly exclusive.

A rainbow of bottles, a symphony of spirits.
