If you’re looking to taste regional Greek cuisine, the Cretan food at Mitos in Kallithea is a must. The place is actually a traditional kafenio (old-school café), but also serves authentic mezedes (appetizers to share), all made with produce from the island of Crete. Try the lamb meatballs and the snails with xinohondro (a typical Cretan grain made of sun-dried wheat with sour milk). Follow the local patrons’ lead and wash down your meal with Crete’s signature drink, raki, a clear (and strong) spirit similar to grappa.

Do not hesitate to come in (the truth is that if you do not know, it will hardly choose this cafe-restaurant). Here you will find the most authentic dishes of the famous Cretan cuisine. Ask Manoli to suggest some plates. For me "Hohli Buburisti" (fried snails) is the best! Accompany your food with a tsikoudia (traditional spirit from Crete island)
