Django, Ice cream parlor in Koukaki, Athens, Greece
Django is an ice cream shop in Athens' Koukaki district that produces up to 16 different flavors every day. The range includes eight gelato varieties and eight sorbets, all made from organic milk and ingredients sourced from carefully selected local suppliers.
The business started in 2005 on Syros island and opened its second location in Athens in 2021. This move from an island workshop to the capital represented a significant expansion for the operation.
The name of this shop honors Jean Reinhardt, known as Django. The blend of Italian gelato-making traditions with Greek ingredients shapes how the shop operates and what it offers every day.
The shop operates on a first-come-first-served basis and closes when daily production runs out. Visiting earlier in the day gives you a better chance of finding all available flavors.
The shop features an open gelato kitchen where you can watch the gelato being made right in front of you. A small shop corner also sells Madagascar vanilla and other products from Syros island.
