Shopping in Kolonaki

As one of the oldest districts in Athens, Kolonaki is a mix of old world sophisticated shopping with a scattering of new and edgy independent designers. It is a large area to cover by foot and if you stick to the main square, you will miss out on some great shopping up the side streets where smaller boutiques are scattered throughout.

Kolonaki is all about boutique shopping. Jewellery and shoes is the real highlight here. Some of our favourites include Fanourakis and Kalogirou both within a few blocks of each other, along Patriarchou Ioakim Street. If you’re into boho-chic then you must stop by Queen Calliope on Herodotou Street where renowned Greek photographer Calliope Karvounis has an eclectic selection of clothing, home wares and accessories compiled from her travels around the world.
