Its all Greek to Me #athens

Kolonaki Step into luxury at the posh area Kolonaki. This is the best place for you to indulge in window shopping, visit high-end boutiques, stroll through galleries and end up enjoying a glass of wine in one of the numerous bars located at its Square. Athens has its own aristocratic district with a long tradition in handcrafted jewelry. Yield to spending temptation at Voukourestiou Street and blend in with the trendy crowd that goes by as if walking down a catwalk!

Kolonaki has long had a unique prestige. Indeed, for years all the Athenian elite has been gathered in its cafĂŠs and patisseries.

There, they would discuss, gossip and act with no inhibitions.

Many times, anonymous people would rush there to see what was going on. All the important politicians and all the rising stars of theater and music used to hang out there... And maybe the years have passed, but still the streets of Kolonaki keep a little of their old glamour.

Kolonaki extends from Panepistimiou Avenue to the Concert Hall (where there is a metro station) and from Sina Street, which separates the district of Neapoli, to Vassileos Constantinou Avenue.

Kolonaki in Greek means little column and it was named after an old marble cylindrical column of 2 meters height and of 30 cm diameter found in the area and restored at the right ladder of Deksameni Square.
