» Click here for more Athens Sightseeing Tours Events & AttractionsShopping AthensIf you want to buy a few gifts for friends and family at home or a souvenir for yourself, Plaka and Monastiraki are the places to be. You will find a lot of shops that sell the same things and you can compare prices but you will find they do not differ much. Don’t forget to bargain on the price.The busiest shopping street of Athens is the pedestrian-only Ermou, off Syntagma Square, where shoppers can pick up the season's latest souvenirs, clothing and accessories. The most up market shopping district in Athens is nearby Kolonaki, where designer boutiques (such as the Italian Versace and the newest Greek talent Eleftheriades) rub shoulders with coffee shops and chic restaurants. This area includes Tsakalof, one of the most expensive streets in the world. Thankfully, Athens has not adopted mall culture and no massive retail emporiums taint the city's shopping scene. Attica, the country’s largest department store, opened its doors on April 9, 2005 at CityLink, the city’s sole listed architectural block, which spreads from Panepistimiou to Voukourestiou, Stadiou and Amerikis streets. Part of an entirely revamped 1930s construction — formerly the Army Pension Fund Building — the new department store covers an area of 25,000 square meters (out of CityLink’s total 65,000 sq.m.) stretching to eight floors and featuring more than 300 shops in a shop, 500 brands as well as a cafe-restaurant. Eating and Drinking AthensAs you'd expect in a city that houses almost half the Greek population, Athens has the best and the most varied restaurants and tavernas in the country - and most places are sources not just of good food but of a good night out.Starting with breakfast , most Athenians survive on a thimbleful of coffee, but if you need a bit more to set you up for the day, you'll easily find a bakery, yogurt shop or fruit stall. Koukáki is particularly good for this, with the Nestoras Tzatsos bakery at Veďkoú 45, another at no. 75, and still another on pedestrianized Olymbíou, just off Platía Koukáki, offering excellent wholegrain bread and milk products. For a regular English breakfast , there are several options in and around Pláka. For a proper American or Continental breakfast, from croissants and pastries to multi-filling omelettes, head for Neon at Mitropoleos 3. Later in the day, a host of snack stalls and outlets get going. If your budget is low you can fill up at them exclusively, avoiding sit-down restaurants altogether. The standard snacks are souvláki me píta (kebab in pitta bread), tyrópites (cheese pies) and spanakópites (spinach pies), along with bougátses (cream pies) and a host of other speciality pastries. There is a cluster of good souvláki stands around Exárhia square, while those in the immediate vicinity of Omónia are best avoided. At Omónia square 18, however, and at several other points in the city, such as Tsakálof 14, Kolonáki, look out for the Everest chain, which does a nice line in pastries, sandwiches and ice cream and stays open past midnight. Krinos at Eólou 87, an old-fashioned cafeteria operating since 1922
behind the central market, has delectable loukoumadhes (pastry puffs soaked
in honey-citrus syrup and dusted in cinammon), tyrópites and rizogalo (rice
pudding). There is a Bagel Café at Karayeóryi Servías 9b, just below
Syndagma, while the Aríston around the corner at Voulís 10 has been famous
for years for its good, inexpensive tyropites . Sports & Activities AthensThe Olympic city of Athens has many activities on offer to tempt all lovers of the outdoors.
