Ermou Street

Athens' luxury shopping street; one of Europe's finest.

Shops

One of the busiest shopping streets of Athens, Ermou Street runs for nearly a mile from the Keramikos–old Gas District–area of Athens through Monastiraki all the way up to Syntagma Square.

The majority of it is pedestrianised with a plethora of international brand name fashion stores such as Mac cosmetics, Spanish fashion designer DeSigual and Zara plus a huge H&M, to name but a few plus small shopping centres including the popular local Attica store that stocks everything you could wish for for your holiday (think the ‘Macy’s’ equivalent of Greece).

There are several side streets offering cafes and restaurants – a welcome break from all that shopping.

Athens: Church of the Panagia Kapnikarea

Right in the centre of the pedestrianised area sits one of the oldest churches in Athens, the Byzantine Church of Panaghia Kapnikarea which you can visit (free).
