Why we say this

Insider secrets & local vibes

Heteroclito carries 200-plus Greek labels with a natural-wine focus and monthly-rotating by-the-glass picks, so a guided flight of Assyrtiko, Agiorgitiko and Xinomavro is a genuine eye-opener.
Not independently verified — estimated
Greek wine is underexposed internationally, and a knowledgeable pour at a real wine bar near the cathedral turns it into discovery rather than a tourist set-piece.
Not independently verified — estimated
It's a niche pick for non-drinkers, and you could just order the same wines by the glass off the list without a structured tasting.
