Space is around us designs wine bar in Exarcheia infusing it with the area’s authentic character

Bocas brings a taste of the Mediterranean to Solomou Street in Exarcheia. Amidst the neighborhood’s resistance to gentrification, this cozy spot offers an authentic experience of local cold cuts and organic wines. From the vintage garage’s red hues to the natural stone walls, every element reflects the neighborhood’s character. Inside, a simple yet elegant design unfolds. Black iron structures create a modern backdrop, while Spanish tiles and wooden accents add warmth. The space effortlessly transitions from indoors to outdoors, with glass bricks and movable tables maximizing the narrow area. The facade maintains the grace of its marble covering. The name itself—meaning “mouths” in Spanish—invites guests to savor the flavors of Spain, Greece and beyond.
