[edit] Sakis' Taverna

Sakis' Taverna is the main gathering place for the Tribes of the Moon in Athens Greece. While it's unknown as to whether it was intended for this bar to be a Tur, it has become one. A neutral ground for travelers and locals alike to come, drink, eat and get to know one another. The spirits of Athens are very familiar with the tavern as a place to watch their actions with the humans that frequent the place, and as a place to contact the local Tribes of the moon should they need to.

The entrance is an inviting site to passers by, with it's large windows and double doors, usually open so that the people on the street and in the parking lot can hear and see what is going on, as well as, smell the delightful scents of what's cooking in the kitchen. Once you enter the bar, the first thing that draws your eye is the large inviting fireplace that dominates the west wall of the building. It's usually lit with right smelling woods, save in the summer time when it's too hot to worry about it. A delightful set of vases and old nick knacks decorate the mantel just below a large brass circle depicting Hestia, the Greek goddess of the hearth.

Just to the right of the fireplace is a single door that leads out to a patio in the back that is well lit with hanging lanterns and festive lighting. It's surrounded by a lattice wall over grown with plants and flowers. The patio itself is set with several tables for out door dinning and is a favorite place for patrons in the spring and summer.

In the east wall, there is a large heavy looking wooden door that looks as if it leads to a backroom or cellar. Occasionally, the owners or the staff will disappear into the backroom, with several guests. It's believed that, perhaps it's used for private parties but when asked the owner just smiles and shakes his head, muttering to himself in Greek.
