Pork or chicken stacked on a vertical spit, shaved off in slivers and rolled into a pita with chips, tomato, onion and tzatziki, the late-night Athens staple.
Gyros arrived in Athens in the 1920s with Asia Minor refugees, a Greek adaptation of the Ottoman doner kebab. The vertical-spit pork version became the Greek standard in the 1950s and 1960s. Bairaktaris on Monastiraki has run a gyros window since the late 19th century, before the modern format settled. Today the pita with chips inside is the canonical Athens late-night order, EUR4 across most counters in the city.
