STREETS OF THE CITY CENTER

Athens is essentially connected by its two main squares, Syntagma Square and Omonia Square. The parallel avenues of Stadiou Street and Eleftherios Venizelos Avenue connect these two squares and are worth walking down to take in many points of interest.

The most significant shopping streets are Ermou Street and its touristic version, Adrianou Street. It is also a good idea to make a shopping trip to old Athens via Aiolou Street in Plaka.
