Major
shopping areas
Kolonaki
Kolonaki is one of the oldest posh areas
in the heart of Athens. Here you will
find shops with clothes of known international
designers, jewelers and upscale boutiques
for all tastes and ages.
Monastiraki
- Plaka
Situated on the foot of Acropolis hill,
Plaka is a very particular area of the
city. One can find souvenirs of all
kind, from copies and miniatures of
ancient Greek art to natural sponges
from the Mediterranean Sea. Next to
Plaka, the Monastiraki quarter has a
very interesting flea market and many
antique shops.
Psyrri
Very close to Monastiraki one will find
this recently developed area with a
lot of bars, restaurants and galleries.
Many young Greek designers have opened
little charming shops. One can also
find vintage shops and 60s furniture.
It requires a lot of searching.
