Location Information: Lycabettus skirts the famed Mt. Lycabettus and overlooks Kolonaki, Athens’ upscale district. It is just a short 10-minute walk to the city centre. Lycabettus is perched high above the city and is surrounded by the lush hills that lead up to the charming Ag.

Giorgos church. You’re surrounded by greenery while being a short walk away from bustling cafes, restaurants, designer boutiques, cinemas and book- stores. It is also very close to several museums, art galleries and theatres. Lycabettus has long been a coveted real-estate destination, offering a green oasis while being close to the city centre.

It is an area extremely well-connected by the metro, tram, and bus services to the rest of Athens. The airport is 50 minutes to an hour away by express train and direct buses. This area is right in the centre of Athens, an area that has always enjoyed a lot of interest from buyers, offering guaranteed returns on investment. Kolonaki is the undefeated champion of stylish neighborhoods in Athens.

The central neighborhood of Kolonaki is one of the oldest districts in Athens and a must-visit if you love to shop or want to spend a relaxing day people watching, whilst sipping a Greek coffee. Kolonaki has seen a new wave of designer shops, cafe’s and restaurants emerge, which are upheld beyond the tourist season by its affluent residents. From art galleries, luxury brands, hip boutiques and shoe emporiums, what I love about Kolonaki’s recent renaissance is the variety of international labels with equally impressive independent Greek designers appearing more and more around the district, bringing a bit more edge and color to the area.
