Neighborhoods
Kolonaki is an aristocratic neighborhood in central Athens situated at an exclusive location, encompassed by Syntagma Square, Vasilissis Sofias Avenue and the southwestern slopes of Lycabettus Hill. It was named after the ancient old column (the Greek for small column is kolonaki), found in the center of Kolonaki Square.
Kolonaki is a wealthy, chic and upmarket district, and a fashionable meeting area. Here, one may encounter green spots and attractive buildings, predominantly neoclassical and modernist, lending the area a distinguished character. As one of the capital's leading shopping areas, it includes a number of high-end boutiques from young adult to casual fashion to prestigious haute-couture from Greek and international designers. Here one will find some of the most expensive commercial shops, popular cafes and modern bars, as well as some luxury restaurants. One of its main shopping streets, Voukourestiou, once the home of Galerie Zygos, is now mostly known for its jewelry.
There are a plethora of available options for nightlife, including bars, bistrots, ouzeries, restaurants and tavernas. Trendy coffee shops, bars and premium restaurants can be found around the streets Kanari, Patriarchou Ioakeim, Tsakalof, Anagnostopoulou and Skoufa. Outdoor seating on pedestrian walks is typical, creating a lively atmosphere at night. The Lycabettus Funicular Railway, links Kolonaki to the summit of Lycabettus hill. Kolonaki is serviced by two metro stations, Evangelismos and Megaro Mousikis.
