About Athens Shopping

No matter your shopping "style," you're certain to find what you're looking for in Athens. The upscale Kolonaki region is home to fashionable boutiques devoted to designers like Lagerfeld and Versace. "Treasure hunters" find they're on familiar turf at the weekly Flea Market, and a wide variety of shops specializes in authentic Greek crafts, from copper wine jugs to handmade sandals. Greek olives, Mediterranean spices, canned sardines, and pungent cheeses will undoubtedly please folks on your gift list. Just know that special permits are needed to purchase and transport anything more than 100 years old. -- Kelly Boland, Contributing Writer
