Dining in Athens
DINING IN ATHENS Athens is a haven of bustling eateries, ouzeries, ‘souvlaki’ (shishkebob) joints, even Michelin-rated international restaurants and other international cuisine. Our hotel is just a stone’s throw from Syntagma Square (where you’ll want to view the changing of the guard), Plaka (the heart of old Athens) and the Acropolis. A couple of informative websites are: • “Matt Barrett’s Top 10 Things to Do in Athens”: www.athensguide.com/top-10/index.htm • www.athensinfoguide.com Syntagma, Plaka and Monastiraki boast mainly Greek restaurants (simple eateries are known as “tavernas” as opposed to more formal restaurants), although right on Syntagma Square you’ll find the requisite McDonald’s, plus Everest sandwiches and Loxandras souvlaki (on Ermou St). On Mitropoleos Street at Nos. 12-14, is O Tzitzikas kai O Mermigas (‘The Grasshopper and the Ant’), an excellent “mezedopoleio” which serves “mezedes”, like Middle Eastern ‘mezes’ and Spanish ‘tapas’. Call ahead for reservations: 210-324-7607. Off of Stadiou St., near Syntagma, is a sophisticated, slightly upscale restaurant called Pasaji, serving ‘modern’ Greek food. From Syntagma Square, go one block on Stadiou St, turn right at Voukourestiou St, and on the left is City Link - the Stoa Spiromiliou (a covered walkway), where the restaurant is located. Tel: 210-322-0714. PLAKA Kydathinaion St joins Adrianou St right through the heart of Plaka all the way to Monastiraki (from Syntagma Sq, go up Filellinon St three blocks; Kydathinaion St starts on the right). Both streets are lined with shops and restaurants. Kydathinaion St runs through a charming square (Filomousou Etairias Sq.), where Byzantino is located – a Greek restaurant with authentic and fairly-priced Greek food.

It’s personal, not interesting to anyone else, but after all, that's what gives a neighborhood it’s character. Abigail Brown Kolonaki to Syntagma Square Abigail Brown stepped onto the sidewalk, blinking her eyes furiously in the afternoon sunlight and wrinkling her nose at the faint smell of urine. It was one of those sweltering June days when, no matter how little you wore or how short a time you spent outside, you were bound to be dripping with sweat in minutes. Abigail knew from the moment she left the cool, air- conditioned shade of her top floor apartment that she would regret walking all the way to Syntagma Square, especially in her best navy suit, but she had no choice. The metro workers were on strike, and she refused to let their pettiness stop her from the strict schedule that made up her everyday life. Anything or anyone that got in her way was an inconvenience, and she hated inconvenience. Abigail pulled out her iPhone and checked how long the walk from Kolonaki would be, hoisting her briefcase up onto her already-aching shoulder. “Fifteen minutes,” she muttered, laughing in disbelief that the most direct route could take so long and starting to walk briskly towards Syntagma.

Athens Retail Guide
ATHENS Cushman & Wakefield Global Cities Retail Guide Cushman & Wakefield | Athens | 2019 0 The City of Athens is the capital of Greece and one of world’s oldest cities. The urban area of Athens extends beyond the administrative city limits and has an estimated population of some 3.8 million; amounting to almost a third of the Greek population. The total shopping centre stock in Greece is 620,000 sqm (June 2019) 70% of which is concentrated near Athens. There is little room for modern retail developments in Athens due to planning restrictions and lack of large developable land accessible by metro. An exception on the above could be the development of the old airport in Ellinikon. Hellinikon SA intends to develop one of the most prominent inner-city waterfront mixed-use projects, with a blend of contemporary and up-market buildings, creating an integrated destination. Provided some legal and technical matters will be resolved the only shopping centre in the pipeline is The Mall in the area of Votanikos of 48,000 sqm GLA. The 2004 Olympics saw significant infrastructure improvements around Athens, and since then the city has taken a more business-like approach. Tourism is of particular significance to some areas of the Athenian market. Athens is the first target for international retailers entering the Greek market. Prior to the recession there was lack of adequate retail space suitable for international retailers; which caused delays in retailers’ expansion plans. The retail climate has improved since 2017, with increased demand and vacancy now very limited in prime locations. The general outlook for retail property in Athens is positive, with macros improving and leasing activity expected to be sound in 2019 benefitting from growth in private consumption and tourism increase.
