Shopping on Aiolou Street

Shopping on Aiolou Street

Aiolou Street is found directly in the heart of Athens. During the Reign of King Otto, it, along with Ermou Street, was considered the backbone of the city. Even in present day, Aiolou Street still retains remnants of its past glamor.

Aiolou Street mainly hosts numerous stores that form a busy shopping area. The alleyways around Aiolou Streets are also very interesting, with many cafes, bakeries, and restaurants.

We would advise you to cross this whole area on foot so as to enjoy viewing the old buildings (in the past most of them were hotels) and have a leisurely pleasant time.
