Shopping Athenian Style


By Maria-Ioanna Sigalou

Athens is bursting with a new energy when it comes to fashion and shopping. It’s not just about buying; it’s a whole new state of mind. From sprawling malls and cutting-edge boutiques to buzzing streets alive with style, the city is quickly becoming a hotspot for trendsetters. Whether you’re hunting for unique Greek souvenirs in Plaka, the latest international brands on Ermou Street, or luxury fashion in Kolonaki, you’ll feel the pulse of a vibrant, rising scene. With so many fresh spots popping up, discovering the best places can be a thrill – and shopping in Athens (and the suburbs) is now an unmissable adventure!
P.S. Dive into the summer sales before they end in August!

Opening Hours

Except for the tourist hotspots, like Plaka, most shops are closed on Sundays and National Holidays, with the exception of flower shops, patisseries, liquor stores and the like. Official business opening hours are 10:00-21:00 on weekdays (10:00-20:00 on Sat). However, many smaller businesses keep the older working hours (closed after 15:00 on Mon, Wed, Sat and between 14:30 and 17:30 on Tue, Thu, Fri).

Basic Tips
Sales The official sales periods are mid-January to mid-February and mid-July until the end of August. 

Where to shop 
Downtown is the place to be, whether you are looking for brand names or small vintage shops and second-hand stores. 
Plaka. The foremost tourist area, is the standard place to buy memorabilia. Nearby Monastiraki Home to a famous Athenian flea market. Visitors will lose themselves in a huge variety of shops that appeal to aficionados of records, jewellery, clothes, shoes and all things vintage. This is an area in which haggling is accepted by the playful and friendly shop owners. Between Monastiraki sq. and Omonia sq., one comes across the Athens Central Market, a good place to buy some local herbs. Ermou street By far the most celebrated shopping street: a pedestrian street with large windows and a great variety of goodies, from clothes and jewellery to shoes and gifts. But when it comes to expensive brand shopping, Kolonaki is the perfect place to be. Luxury clothing, high prices and impeccably dressed customers are the norm here. If you have time to kill, have a look at the interesting markets of Kifissia (northern suburbs) and Glyfada (southern suburbs). Try to do your shopping in the morning and on weekdays. It is less busy. You will come across all the major international brands on Voukourestiou Str.
