Description:
The Kona Kai in Athens, Greece is a rare example of a Tiki bar built in the 1980's,
the era where many more Tiki Bars shut their doors for the last time. It was an immediate
hit with the well heeled Athenians, serving Pacific rim cuisine for the first time in this ancient city. Decor is modern and sparse, with large Tiki carvings, and the trademark Kona Kai Pacific view wall
on one side of the restaurant. Each table is lit by a Kona Kai lamp, and the salt & pepper shakers are classic originals, but years of thieving have left a rather sad-looking assortment of mugs at the bar. Drinks are very expensive for Athens, but the quality is excellent, the bartenders
having been sent to London for training.

I strongly advise getting a cab if visiting as it's situated on a very busy road away from the tourist area of the city.
