Before you conclude your road trip in Greece, drop by another restaurant for a last chance at a memorable dining experience in Athens.

Dine in style at Beer Tales, a top recommendation for dinner tonight. Or, for a change of pace, Oinomageireio Epirus (est.1898) boasts a menu that's sure to impress.

You’ll then say farewell to Athens. Drive to the airport, return your car, and take the opportunity to get some last-minute souvenirs before you board your flight home. We wish you a pleasant journey and hope you leave with many wonderful memories of your road trip in Greece!
