Shopping near Athens

Glyfada
Destination shopping is a term that can be used to describe a day or afternoon in Glyfada. The alter ego of the posh Kolonaki, Glyfada offers just as many shops (if not more) with the added value of being along the paralia or coast. Athenians who want a break from the shops in the center will often combine a seaside ride and lunch with shopping here. The tram and public buses will get you there in 45 minutes or less. Worth mentioning also are Glyfada's tavernas well known for serving delectable meat dishes. Ask to be directed to Biftekoupoli and.... enjoy!
