Diporto

An underground Athens secret—literally

A local’s legend since 1887, Diporto is a time capsule taverna beneath the Athens Central Market.

Diporto is Greek for “two doors”. It’s a reference to the two entrances on the fringe of the Athens Central Market leading down into the taverna. Diporto has been in business since 1887, unbelievably, with no sign and no menu. Mitso cooks very simple, very traditional homestyle Greek cuisine. He will let you know what dishes are available that day.
