The Historical Center

The historical center is the ancient crest of Athens and the core of the entire political, economic and social life of the country. The area expands from Akadimias Avenue through to Emmanuel Benakis Street up to the Pillars of Olympian Zeus and from the Parliament to Athinas Street, bordering Mitropoleos Avenue, going back to the heart of the city. 

Particularity: The modern trend of returning to the center has resulted in the transformation of the city. Gradually, new types of apartments are completed in areas which were once districts of various manufacturers. An important factor for this is that the center has become the hub of cultural activities, fun and entertainment. 

Nature: The Acropolis Hill, the Mouson Mount, the National Garden and Zappeion.

Transportation: Regular connections to the entire city. 3 Metro stations, Panepistimiou Avenue, Syntagma Square and Monastiraki, and 1 railway station in Monastiraki. The center is the starting point of all three routes of tram buses, 130 bus lines and 12 trolley lines. 

Market: With Ermou Street being the major shopping street, the countless shopping opportunities on Stadiou Avenue, Panepistimiou Avenue and Monastiraki, the center is the most commercial part of Athens.
