Athens’s disarray is part of its charm. Walking through the city, you will see graffiti-covered buildings juxtaposed with soaring ancient Greek ruins. Eprepe, a stylish wine bar in the hipster Kypseli neighborhood, is the perfect place to experience this dichotomy. We love the wine there, but the food is also notable. Small plates of modern, inventive Greek dishes, like deep-fried terrine, are paired with classics like oven-baked chickpeas. Try the lamb chops if they are available—the menu changes seasonally. —Jeanne Malle
