Which cafés in Athens are good for working on a laptop?

Kick at Sporadon 26 in Kypseli has several sockets and suits long hours at a computer. Ubuntu at Nileos 58 in Thiseio has a quiet loft for study or remote work, and Goodhood at Georgiou Papandreou 33 in Zografou suits laptop work. In Koukaki, Bel Ray on Falirou has sockets beside its bar tables.

Can you stay a long time with one coffee in an Athens café?

Yes. In Athens one coffee is expected to last an hour or longer, and staff will not push you to order again. Guides to work-friendly cafés in the city look first for sockets: in Koukaki, Hippy Hippo has them in every corner of its window counter, and Bel Ray beside its bar tables.

Which Athens neighborhood has the most cafés with Wi-Fi?

Syntagma & Plaka has the most cafés with Wi-Fi, ahead of Exarchia and Ampelokipoi. Near Syntagma Square, George Cafe at Othonos 10 opens at 06:30 on weekdays, and Βρυσάκι on Vrysakiou and Κλεψύδρα on Thrasyvoulou stay open until 01:00.
