PURA VIDA was a perfect idea for a quick breakfast, while located in city centre, the place was cozy and really enjoyable. They have good options for breakfast/brunch. For this time I tried Greek Yogurt with some granola, peanut butter and mixed nuts, along with Greek coffee. It was beautifully serves and tasted really well. The service was exceptionally nice. Good place to enjoy your outdoor breakfast.

Budget friendly healthy & tasty options! We had a lunch break and ordered a hot sandwich and a salad. Both were delicious and just what we needed while strolling through Athens.
