Shopping in Marousi

Shopping in Marousi

When Greece's first large shopping center, "The Mall Athens," opened in Marousi in 2005, many residents had serious concerns. After all, the business community of Marousi was considered an important source of income for the municipality, and until then had attracted thousands of customers, mainly from the northern suburbs. There was a disproportionately large number of stores in Marousi, especially clothing stores.

With the opening of two more shopping centers in Marousi, many of these fears have come true. Many customers avoid the shopping streets in the center because of the parking problem and prefer to visit the spacious malls with their countless stores and other services like cafes, restaurants, cinemas, playgrounds, and of course many parking spaces.

Today, the city of Marousi is doing a great deal to make the city center more attractive again. The city has invested in a multi-year project to build underground parking lots in the immediate vicinity of the center and hopes to improve the shopping experience in the Marousi Center.
