The most historical neighbourhood of Athens city centre, Plaka, also known as the “neighborhood of the Gods”, is full of shops for all sorts of things. Walking on the marble streets you can spend an entire day visiting shops, selling from T-shirts to dried fruits, ouzo (the traditional Greek drink), bags and tons of souvenirs. Some of them are more traditional and touristic, while others, such as Flâneur and Foget Me Not, are modern and sophisticated.
Prices are more or less fair. Tip: try to negotiate the price of the souvenirs. You may get a better price when buying more than one item.
Also, don’t miss to visit Monastiraki Market, preferably on Sundays that the antiquities market is open.

Ermou is the most popular shopping street in Athens. Starting close to the Parliament at Syntagma Square, Ermou is a pedestrian street, full of clothing and shoes stores. From the most known retailers such as Zara or H&M to smaller shops, Ermou Street is a shopping heaven. The street is very busy during the whole day. In case you get hungry, street vendors will offer you fried corn and traditional Greek food, such as “spanakopita” (spinach pie).

The idea, having a sophisticated bar with whimsical cocktails and a coffee shop with personalised blends co-exist in one place, was inspiring. Altering what we know as an “all-day” place, this new venue will become a destination for those who seek high quality, exceptional service and affordable prices, with the most beautiful backdrop in Southern Athens.
