Where to Eat Near Metropolitan Expo in Spata?
Planning to attend a trade show or event at the Metropolitan Expo in Spata and wondering where to grab a great meal nearby? While the exhibition center is a major hub, it’s located on the edge of town - and the nearest quality restaurants and tavernas are about a 10-minute drive from the venue. That’s why it’s worth going a little further and making your way to Artemida - a charming coastal town that offers not just authentic Greek food, but also sea views, fresh air, and a chance to unwind like a local.
Artemida, sitting right on the Aegean Sea, is where Greeks truly savor their meals - slowly, together, and often with a glass of ouzo in hand. And even though it’s just a short drive from Spata, it feels like a completely different world.
Artemida: Real Greek Food with a View
If you want to taste Greek cuisine the way it’s meant to be, Artemida is the place to be. Seafront tavernas serve fresh fish straight off the boat, grilled octopus, shrimp in ouzo, crispy calamari - all with a stunning view of the waves. Dining by the sea here isn’t a luxury, it’s a way of life. The food is simple, honest, and made with the same care and tradition you’d find in a Greek family kitchen.
And it’s not just about sit-down meals. Artemida also does fantastic street food. Juicy souvlaki, gyros wrapped in warm pita, hand-cut fries with oregano, and homemade tzatziki -quick, flavorful, and packed with personality. Perfect for a relaxed lunch or a bite between strolls along the beach.
What About Spata?
Sure, you’ll find places to eat in Spata too - but it’s important to note that they’re not right next to the Metropolitan Expo. Most restaurants are about 10 minutes away by car. So if you’re on a tight schedule or need a quick bite between meetings, it’s doable - but not the most convenient option.
The spots around Spata tend to offer modern takes on traditional Greek dishes and are popular with locals. But if you’ve got some flexibility in your day, Artemida gives you more than just a meal - it gives you an experience.
After the Expo, Head for the Coast
If you're spending the day at Metropolitan Expo, reward yourself with a little detour to the coast. Artemida is close enough for a quick escape, but far enough to feel like a real break. With delicious food, fresh sea air, and a laid-back atmosphere, it’s the perfect way to end your day in true Greek style.
Καλή όρεξη - enjoy your meal! 🇬🇷
