Just under the slopes of Lycabettus hill, next to Syntagma square, is Kolonaki, the area that is considered to be the upscale district of Athens.
Kolonaki was named after a small column that was found at Filikis Eterias, it's main square and the center of life in the area. The so-called aristocratic neighborhood of Athens, Kolonaki is the home in the center of many businessmen, politicians, designers, artists and famous greek celebrities.
In Kolonaki, you will find art galleries, worldwide famous boutiques, and huge brand name stores. For shopping and exquisite jewelry, you have to go to Voukourestiou street. The large pedestrian streets hosts to each side all of the renowned brand names concerning women and men fashion and even some home decor and furniture.
Almost all of the smaller alleys ending to this street are full of classy cafes and pastry shops and beautiful corners to catch your breath after a long day at work or shopping time.
In the area, you will find some of the best museums of Athens, such as the main building of Benaki Museum and the Goulandris Museum of Cycladic Art, as well as the nearby Byzantine Museum of Athens.
During the day you can relax in one of the cafes and enjoy delicious coffee, while in the evening you may enjoy gourmet creations at the restaurants or have fun at the prestigious bars.
