For a traveller eating gluten-free, a bakery visit can take more planning than it should. Marinos Kosmas offers a dedicated gluten-free counter on Mesogeion Avenue, with bread, savoury bakes, Greek classics and celebration pastries in one place.
Before you travel across Athens
Product availability can change as batches sell through, so contact the bakery before making a special journey. A quick message is also the easiest way to ask about ingredients, collection timing and the day’s counter selection.
The bakery is at Leof. Mesogeion 78A, Athens 115 27. Save the address before leaving your hotel and allow time to explore the day’s selection rather than arriving with only one product in mind.
What to look for at the counter
Start with the foods that are often hardest to find while travelling: a proper loaf for breakfast, a savoury Greek bake for lunch, and a syrupy pastry for an unmistakably local finish.
If you are ordering for a group, ask the team what travels well and what is best eaten fresh. Individual dietary needs vary, so always discuss your own requirements directly with the bakery.
