How we verified
- A cult basement taverna behind the Varvakeios market at 9 Sokratous St, in business since 1887, with two unmarked doors (the name means 'two doors') and no sign. · theatheniansite.com
- A handful of daily dishes (chickpeas, sardines) and house retsina from the barrel; poet Kostas Varnalis wrote 'Oi Moiraioi' at his regular table here. · atlasobscura.com
