The last traditional dairy in the center of Athens, operating continuously since 1931 at 10 Marikas Kotopouli Street near Omonia Square. The establishment is famous for its thick traditional sheep's milk yogurt served in clay bowls with thyme honey and walnuts. The refrigerated display case holds milk desserts prepared according to old recipes. Guests order rizogalo rice pudding, galaktoboureko custard with filo pastry, and fried loukoumades donuts.
