Kosta

You know when somewhere is frequented by locals more than tourists it means business, and Kostas Souvlaki is one of the best souvla shops in Athens. Located by Agia Irene Church, it's an institution that has been around since the 60s. The gyro is kept classic and simple, and you can choose either pork or lamb. Don’t expect the thinly shaven slices of meat, instead, it's done the traditional way of souvlaki meat chunks. There is often a waiting line.
