The only thing you need is to be in a mood for wandering and discovering. But diner's must pay attention to this: don't think of ordering any elaborate dishes believing that you are in an actual restaurant.

Assorted dishes, Greek salad, diced pork delight, spicy cheese, and the rest of "specialties" are the appropriate complement to your ouzo or wine. One last piece of advice: don't forget to check your watch every now and then, because otherwise, you will not comprehend that time has passed and find that it is well after midnight!
