If you have ever walked along Eptapyrgiou Street, reaching Portara and a little further, towards the Artillery, then you have surely seen, on your right hand, a beautiful stone building, where patrons and passers-by stop for their coffee or drink: the “Propyleon”. It has been located since 1997 at number 130 of the street that crosses the entire old city wall and promises unique moments, in every way!

At “Propyleon” you can enjoy your coffee, a tasty snack or your drink, accompanied by beautiful melodies. Its almost panoramic view of Thessaloniki – since it “sees” both at one of the most central points of Ano Poli, as well as around the city from above – is what makes it one of the most attractive spots in the area. After all, it is chosen by so many passers-by, groups of tourists, but also residents of the city, for their morning coffee or any other rest stop.

Counting 27 years of life, being one of the oldest stores in the area, it functions as a café-bistrot and live stage, having hosted thousands of people of all ages at its tables over the years. The latter, if nothing else, admire from there the view of the Triangle Tower – the well-known Fireworks, which in itself attracts many visitors – but also of the city and Thermaikos, from the eastern side of the building. Many artists from the city and the country have also passed through the “Propyleon”, as guests on its music scene.

A small attraction pole

The wood and stone, the tables outside, in front of the paving, the beautiful balcony and the overall Ano Poli architecture of the building, make the “Propyleo” tempting. After all, this was the philosophy of the owner from the beginning: to create a very nice space in Ano Poli, which manages to function as a small pole of attraction for the wider area.

One stop for the morning…

Choose “Propyleon” for your brunch, to start your day with a Greek coffee and a full breakfast, which will give you energy for the rest, choosing from omelets, waffles and sweet and savory pancakes, freshly baked toast, fresh juices and smoothies, but also unique fresh, homemade lemonade. You will also find tea, herbs or chocolates and you will enjoy whatever you get, feeling like you are on … vacation!

…one stop for lunch…

Choose it for a lunch stop, for a snack or meals that include suggestions for burgers, meat platters, club sandwiches, tortillas or pizza, but also salads, appetizers, main courses and small dishes for ouzo and enjoy every moment.

…and a stop for the night!

And choose it for your night out as well, perhaps choosing one of the musical evenings – tributes, which are regularly announced by the store’s social media. Sit inside or outside, weather permitting, and admire the evening illumination of the walls. Sounds of pop-folk music accompany your drink, the cocktail of your choice and whatever you choose from the “Propyleon” wine list… and the fun lasts until the early hours of the morning.

In other words, choose the “Propyleon” at any time of the day, for a break from the intense pace or from your walk and treat yourself to a truly enjoyable experience! Its team of people will be there to serve you immediately and always with a smile!

Tip: “Propyleon” operates daily from 08.00 to 02.00, with the exception of evenings with live events, when it closes depending on the occasion.
