All-day cocktail bar across three 1930s houses around a courtyard in Kato Petralona, run by Marfi Bali and ten years old in 2026.

Upupa Epops spreads over three 1930s buildings around an inner courtyard on Alkiminis, in Kato Petralona; one of them was once a sugar and salt shop. The decoration is retro old-Athenian, and the courtyard is the reason to go on a warm night.

Marfi Bali and her team serve cocktails grounded in the classics, with brunch and all-day food. The bar marked its tenth anniversary with a party on 2 October 2026. It works best as the first stop of an evening before Thissio or Gazi. Not for you if you want to dance: it is a bar for drinks, food and conversation.
