Greek Wine Tasting at Heteroclito
A guided flight of indigenous Greek grapes — Assyrtiko, Agiorgitiko, Xinomavro — at Heteroclito, the natural-leaning wine bar on Mitropoleos.
The call
Worth it if you are watching the budget and you only have one day.
Why
- 01
Heteroclito, tucked on Mitropoleos near the cathedral, is the sweet spot for this: 200-plus Greek labels with a natural-wine bent, by-the-glass picks that rotate on the first of each month, and a staff who'll walk you through native varietals over a plate of cheese.
Our read - 02
Greek wine is a genuine blind spot for most visitors, so it lands as real discovery rather than a checklist tasting.
