Kolonaki

"In the heart of Athens, between Syntagma Square and Mount Lycabettus, this posh area is notorious for its haute couture boutiques and shoe emporiums. Kolonaki Square is synonymous with long-standing cafes, which are beloved people-watching spots, especially on slow Sunday afternoons. Trendy, all-day bars such as Passepartout and Skoufaki along Skoufa Street mark the neighborhood’s nightlife. Brave the congestion and narrow sidewalks to check out the neighborhood’s artsy vibes by visiting places such as the traditional Désiré patisserie, Zoumboulakis art gallery, Degustation deli shop, and Booktique bookstore. Five-star hotel St. George Lycabettus is world-famous for the panoramic views over Athens. However, you can still enjoy spectacular views from atop Lycabettus Hill, which you can reach by cable car, an uphill hike, or by taking a spin. If you are in Kolonaki just for the Benaki Museum, consider a short stop at Carpo for a healthy bag of dried fruits and nuts and freshly ground coffee on the go." - MATADOR_NETWORK
