If you are looking for an authentic "fish" experience in Athens - then look no further than Kollias on Syngrou Av. This is a traditional family restaurant where the secrets of the sea have been passed from generation to generation. I had the priveledge of photographing the restaurant recently and through these images I will try to convey the Kollias experience. ( www.kollias.gr )

It was truly an experience watching Tasos Kollias handle the catch of the day, - and the traditional way of preparing the fish to bring out the flavours of the sea. Enjoy the images and even better - treat yourself to the real thing!!!! 

Tasos Kollias arranging the fresh fish in the restaurants open freezer. This is one of the first sights the guest is treated to when entering the restaurant - and the sight of the fish and fresh vegetables is just amazing.

"Salting the fish" 

Tasos often prepares the delicacies himself in the open plan kitchen

The warm inviting main dining area of Kollias. The roof opens up on warm summer evenings so that you can dine under the stars.
