"A red-wine lover's paradise: By the Glass. With 200 wines by the glass to try, it’s easy to understand how this Syntagma wine bar got its name. Enter through the marble-floored arcade to reach the entrance to the high-ceilinged space. Or, in warmer months, cross the street to Rallou Manou Square. There, behind an old stone church, you’ll find a large outdoor seating area, which is presided over by a stone statue paying homage to the unknown architect. Along with indigenous Greek varieties (try the Moschofilero from Boutari, a floral white wine), the list highlights international grapes, such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc, being grown in Greek terroir. There’s also a separate reserve list with quite a number of older vintages, especially red wines such as Xinomavro."
