Psyri
"Psyri is part of the historic center but has gone through radical transitions in the past 15 years — from a nightlife hub for the disconsolate punk youth in the early 2000s to sharp deterioration and neglect during Greece’s economic recession. However, Psyri moves with the times, and newly opened innovative hotels such as The Foundry, vintage boutiques, and antique and second-hand shops are now giving the neighborhood a fresh life. The yellow and brown walls of the neighborhood’s ‘60s buildings are altered beyond recognition by Greek and international street artists whose art add cultural value and increase the appeal of the area. If you have a sweet tooth, we recommend a brief stopover at Serbetia patisserie, which has been the neighborhood’s landmark since 1997." - MATADOR_NETWORK
