About the Business

Specialties

For most people, Greece conjures up images of sunlight, a zest for life, and the simple appreciation for good food. Greece, its food, and its people promote a warm sense of hospitality and the ability to live life to its fullest extent. Whether a friend or a stranger is invited to someone's home, something is always offered. It is this sincerity that hallmarks Greek cuisine. "Eating Greek" means dining on food that is bursting with flavors, feasting with family and friends through good times and bad, celebrating life with an attitude and an appetite. The fare may be seafood or steaks, pasta or vegetables, breads or pastries, but you can always bet it will be tasty.

History

Established in 1995.

Former Chef and owner Teddy Kyriakidis came to America in 1951. He brought with him the tastes and aromas from the streets of Athens and the hills of the countryside. With over 60 years experience, he presented the very best Greek food and regional cuisine, all with a contemporary twist. The Kyriakidis family moved to the Chattanooga area in 1982. The first restaurant they opened was Little Athens in East Ridge , where they proudly served affordable, comfort dining for over 13 years. Dreaming of a restaurant that embodied the true spirit of Greece , the Kyriakidis family opened the Acropolis in July 1995 at Hamilton Place. After 17 years at the Acropolis in August 2012, Teddy passed away leaving the Acropolis to the family to continue his legacy. In honoring Teddy's tradition, we partner with local farmers and suppliers to bring straight forward, freshly produced, honest ingredients to your table with the same soul and passion as generations before us.
