    We had a wonderful experience from drinks to dessert. Was a slightly limited menu but we all found something we were happy we ordered. Can’t beat the amazing view of the Parthenon and the service was top notch.

    A hidden rooftop gem in Athens! I absolutely loved The Botany Roof Garden — easily one of the coziest rooftops I’ve been to, with the best view of the Acropolis. What made it extra special wasn’t just the breathtaking setting, but the warm and attentive service that made us feel like VIPs from the moment we arrived. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and full of flavor — but what really stood out was the intimate atmosphere. It felt relaxed, personal, and inviting… the kind of place you want to stay for hours. To top it all off, they brought us a traditional Greek after-meal drink on the house — a lovely touch that made the whole experience feel even more authentic and thoughtful. Superb all around. Can’t wait to return.
