Aptaliko

Patra


We love Ifaistou, the hidden eating and drinking street wedged under the hillside, with an alternative vibe and lively terrace scene. Aptaliko is our favourite spot on it, with views of the ruins of the Roman stadium, hospitable service and a pleasing menu of creative bites, from grilled cheeses to foraged greens, tasty sausage and succulent roast pork.
