Enjoy the tastes of tzatziki, dance the Zorba and delight in sweet cakes in the Greek precinct, the meeting place for Melbourne’s Greek community since the early 1900s. Lining Lonsdale and Russell streets in the centre of Melbourne, the Greek precinct offers visitors traditional coffee and cakes, gifts, restaurants, music, books, jewellery and bars as well as Greek travel agents, lawyers, banks, photographers and accountants.

The Greek Orthodox offices offer a taste of a culture beyond the cuisine, whilst the annual Antipodes Festival is a must-see each March when thousands of visitors gather to pay tribute to Greece.
