Varia

Varia opened in late May 2026 at Milioni 12, on the corner of Iraklitou in Kolonaki, a Bavarian bakery-café from brothers Cedric and Christopher von Halem with bakers Johannes Guertner and Florian Messerer on the ovens.

The little-known fact is the dough clock: sourdough rests eighty hours, pretzels sell out daily, and the flours are BIO Bavarian rather than a Greek supermarket bag. Stratis Doukas signed the interior with Verner Panton furniture. To Vima wrote the Kolonaki landing on 30 May; Athinorama filed the German bread culture as a new pin. Hours go up on Instagram and variabakery.com.

@variabakery is the live camera. The pretzel is why you go; Milioni is why it feels like Athens.
