Athens has a thriving rooftop bar scene that draws both locals and travelers looking for a different way to experience the city. These bars sit high above the streets, giving you sweeping views of Athens spread out below—from ancient monuments to modern neighborhoods. Whether you want a craft cocktail, a casual drink, or dinner with a view, these rooftop spots offer something special. Some focus on classic cocktails made with skill, others bring international flavors like Cuban rum and tropical drinks, and a few mix food and culture together with live music and art. Many stay open year-round, so you can watch the city lights come alive at night or enjoy the daytime bustle from above. The terraces range from sleek and modern to decorated with traditional Greek touches, giving each place its own character. These venues have become popular gathering spots where you can feel the energy of Athens while enjoying a drink in a more relaxed, elevated setting away from the crowded streets below.
