The southern suburbs of Athens are a paradise for both young and old. Beaches, sea, playgrounds, and parks are literally a child’s joy. However, when it comes to going out as a family to a restaurant, one has to take many things into consideration. In the above list, you will find restaurants, cafes, and places for ice cream and sweets, where your children will have space to play, run, and have fun.
Bufala Gelato, Vouliagmeni
Is there a child who doesn’t love ice cream? Probably not. Bufala Gelato is one of the top destinations for good ice cream and delicious brunch – as we recently found out – in the south, especially the store in Vouliagmeni, with its comfortable outdoor space and sea view. A relaxing setting, surrounded by greenery, with a large comfortable space and ideal for sunny days, which is the perfect excuse for a family outing.

Bella Vespa, Glyfada
Bella Vespa, the comfort food and bar restaurant of the southern suburbs, has become a favorite not only for its authentic Italian pizza but also because it creatively engages your child in a beautiful and fully equipped play area while you enjoy your food or drink. In a completely safe environment full of toys that will stimulate their imagination, you can relax, knowing that your child is having a great time nearby.

“To Gnision” Kebab Restaurant, Voula
Families love the square in Voula, and that is undisputed. Kebapzidiko To Gnision is the perfect stop for food and relaxation after a walk and play in the nearby playground. Of course, it should be noted that most of the time, the play continues on the pedestrian street, while you enjoy the delicious kebabs and other culinary delights.

TGI Friday’s, Faliro and Glyfada
Friday’s has always been a favorite destination for the whole family, mainly because of its perfect kids’ menu. A classic dish that kids prefer is their chicken fingers or burgers. The space, apart from the food, makes Friday’s one of the most kids and family-friendly places in the south and beyond. The best part? In Flisvos Marina in Palaio Faliro, it has plenty of space for children to play, while you enjoy your food, your company, and the beautiful view. But also in Glyfada, it is definitely one of the favorite family spots.

Bibo, Glyfada
The large wooden playground in Hariton Square in Glyfada has been one of the most beloved places in the south for many years. When it became known that a new all-day cafe had opened there, parents found another reason to visit with their children. The reason is Bibo, where you can sit at the tables and enjoy your coffee, snack, or brunch while the kids go crazy playing and thus, everyone is happy.
