Psyri, Athens

"For truly original Greek souvlaki, this is where I go. No frills, no reinvention — just perfectly grilled meat, proper pita, and flavors that remind you why souvlaki became iconic in the first place."
Pitas so pillowy soft and meat that melts in your mouth, I Volvi is a firm favorite in the souvlaki game. You might be brought to the vendor during a street food tour (it’s that famous), or locate it within the Varvakios Central Municipal Market. Their pork gyro is the most popular, and the little secret extras that they add to theirs are mustard and chili, along with the classic tomato and red onions.
