Bouzoukia in Athens

Bouzoukia in Athens

The Greek Bouzoukia were the most well known internationally and probably brought images of Zorba the Greek to the minds of visitors. These venues in Athens historically had their base in the areas of Bournazi and Peristeri.

There, delightful natives danced on top of tables and bars to popular Greek traditional and island songs. Every corner of these suburbs had bouzoukia that provided live music, wine and spirits for visitors to enjoy and cry out, "Opa"! Nowadays, locals consider the bouzoukia to be the houses of the Greek Stars on Stage.
