KAPNIKAREAS SQUARE

Going down Ermou Street we meet Kapnikareas Square with its same-named church, which causes a halt in the pedestrian road.

At this square, many traveling salespersons wander around, artists display their works and comics and showmen perform during holiday seasons.

HOW TO GET THERE

BY FOOT: Just a 5 minute walk down Ermou Street, from Syntagma Square, Kapnikarea Square is easily spotted. From Monastiraki Square, going up Ermou Street, Kapnikarea is only 3 minutes away.

HOT SPOTS - What we propose

CAFÉ MAGGIO

Are you tired of the noise of busy Ermou Street? Make an escape just an alley further down to a quiet little pedestrian walkway and enjoy your frappé under the sun. (Ktena 3)

STREET ART AT ITS BEST

The square is a perfect place for people watching. Moreover, this is possibly the most populated area of street artists and performers in the city.
