Such alluring spontaneity is especially felt in Koukaki , the verdant, pedestrian-friendly adjoining neighbourhood just below the Acropolis. Despite the presence of this visitor-clogged landmark that surreally pops out in the midst of an urban landscape, and several museums, they remain remarkably hushed, inviting wandering and lingering” this is what Vogue wrote about Koukaki area. And it truly is a new, hip and friendly neighbourhood at the footprints of Acropolis with a classic character, remarkable neo classic buildings and tiny shops full of surprises in affordable prices. Find a hip café right next door, café and tavern with home made food just some steps away, a super market just two minutes walk away and excellent links to public transport such as buses, trolleys and metro.
