Dedicated to those of you who don't consider a vacation a vacation unless there is Shopping involved. Athens caters to all when it comes to Shopping therapy. Lets explore all the places where you and your money can take your seperate ways.
Athens Flea Market - (Historic Center of Athens)
"Anything and everything a chap can unload is sold by the barrel" (excerpt from "Portobello Road" song - from Disney's "Beadnobs and Broomsticks"). Head over to Athens' historic center and visit Ifestou Street where the Athens Flea Market attracts locals and tourists every single day (and Sundays). Buy anything from brand new Nike's to old antiques, collectibles, art and memorabilia. Dont forget to haggle!
Voukourestiou Pedestrian Street - (Center of Athens)
Walk down Voukourestiou street at any time of the day and enjoy the sun shine on your face as you watch the locals sip coffee in the cafe's which are scattered up and down the street. Just a few meters away from the Syntagma Metro station (Grande Bretagne exit) Voukourestiou street is the ideal place to have a relaxing cup of coffee (See: Zonar's and City Link, coming soon) and browse jewelry and watches. For designer fashion cross over Panepistimiou Avenue and head NE towards Kolonaki, there you'll find Prada, Dior, Louis Vuitton, TODS and Ralph Lauren Boutiques, as well as anything else your heart desires....and your wallet can afford.
