Who WE Are
We don’t have standards — we have high standards.
Upupa was born in Petralona from something simple: the desire to create a place with atmosphere, character and genuine hospitality.
A spot that naturally fits into your day — from morning to late — for coffee, drinks, music and good company.
Marfi, Renos and Petros each proght their own experianceand perspective. Instead of building something fast they chose to build something with foundations — something meant to last.
Because good places aren’t rushed. They’re shaped.
The building itself is pre-1955, a true piece of old Athens. Petros, as a Civil Engineer, undertook the restoration and structural reinforcement of the space, so it could stand strong and work perfectly — without losing its original character.
Then, together with his partners and decorator Alexis Petrakis, they shaped the decor with the same mindset: honest materials, thoughtful lighting, and details that don’t shout — they simply win you over from the moment you step inside.
Upupa is a place made with care — meant to be lived in, every day, and always worth returning to.
From morning light to night rhythm — this is Upupa.
