Live music

Rebetiko and laiko

Greek folk and urban songs played live, the way a taverna night should sound. Tables go fast on music nights, so call ahead.

It is an old habit here. People have been eating to music on this spot since the 1930s: first a gramophone on Sundays, then the dance orchestras of the 1950s, today rebetiko.

The place

A garden under the mountain

A lawn, shady trees and a stone fountain. In summer you eat outside, facing the mountain. In winter we are waiting for you indoors.

The neighbourhood is named after the man who opened a grocery with a few tables here in 1927, Aristeidis Karagiozis. Today's taverna has been running since 2009.
