The Museum of Cycladic Art holds around three thousand Cycladic, ancient Greek and Cypriot objects across its main building on Neophytou Douka and the Stathatos Mansion on Vasilissis Sofias, with a café by Kois Associated Architects that functions as a lunch room.
Cycladic Friends
The membership carries free admission and, more to the point, curated tours, walks and trips. For a household arriving with an interest in collecting, that is a more useful door than a ticket — and collecting Greek has its own provenance questions worth reading first.
The Kolonaki morning
This, the Voukourestiou corridor and Da Capo are within a few minutes of each other. It is the one part of central Athens a coast household can do without moving the car twice.
