Exploring Kolonaki and Its Boundaries<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Geographically, Kolonaki is a district in Athens that spans from Panepistimiou Street in the east to the Concert Hall. It extends south to Vasilissis Sofias Avenue and northwest to Sina Street, up to the boundary of Asclepius, where the historic neighborhood of Neapoli Exarcheia begins. The heart of this luxurious district is Kolonaki Square, also known as \u2018Filikis Etaireias Square\u2019. A stroll uphill from Akadimias Street leads to a unique historical building at number 58, nestled in the capital\u2019s core.<\/p>\n

Originally, the square was named Vasilissis Olgas, adorned with plane trees and a municipal fountain. Today, it serves as the financial epicenter of the area, surrounded by shops, offices, businesses, restaurants, and entertainment venues. Its current name is a tribute to the Friendly Society members Skoufas, Tsakalof, Xanthos, and others for their contributions to the 1821 struggle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Kolonaki: Tracing its Name and Historical Evolution<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Kolonaki:<\/picture><\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

Kolonaki, a district in Athens, derived its name from an old marble pillar, two meters tall and 30 centimeters wide, discovered in the area and relocated to the central square in 1938. This pillar, or \u2018bollard\u2019, was a significant part of Athenian rituals during the Middle Ages, set up at the end of processions performed to ward off epidemics and calamities. Similar bollards have been found across Athens. Until 1834, Kolonaki, like the rest of Athens, was a province filled with fields and pastures.<\/p>\n

During the Turkish occupation, the uninhabited area was known as Katsikada or Katsikadika (goat pastures), serving as the city\u2019s large pasture. The creation of the modern Greek state sparked its transformation into an aristocratic district, aided by its proximity to King Otto\u2019s royal palace. This made Kolonaki a gathering place for high-ranking royal officials and Athens\u2019 elite. From the late 19th century onwards, Kolonaki evolved into Athens\u2019 most luxurious area, a status underscored by its stately residences in eclectic and modernist styles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Kolonaki: A Historic Hub of Athens\u2019 Elite and Artistic Brilliance<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

In the December period, Kolonaki served as the headquarters for the British military forces and the government of George Papandreou, under the command of British General Ronald Scobie. The EAMites nicknamed Kolonaki as \u201cSkobia\u201d. Prior to the war, the district\u2019s significant economic and social disparity with its namesake, Kolonos, inspired numerous narratives about the area, eventually leading to the Greek film \u201cPeople and Kolonaki\u201d.<\/p>\n

Post-war, Kolonaki became synonymous not just with Athens\u2019 affluent and social elite, but also its intellectual and artistic community. Renowned personalities such as Varnalis, Papadiamantis, Manos Hadjidakis, Yannis Tsarouchis, Melina Mercouri, Alekos Sakellarios, Jenny Karezi, and Aliki Vougiouklaki chose to reside here or frequented the area. Vougiouklaki, a resident of the area, often convened with her famous contemporaries at the historic Zonar\u2019s corner of Voucharestiou str with Panepistimiou ave. Kolonaki continues to be a hub of creativity and action, housing the studios of celebrated Greek fashion designers like Billy Bo, Tseklenis, Vasilis Zoulias, Vasilios Kostetsos, Lakis Gavalas, and Deux Hommes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Kolonaki Today: The City\u2019s Key Destinations<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\"Kolonaki<\/picture>Kolonaki is an integral part of Athenian history and while the area was not unscathed by the economic crisis of 2010, which was embossed in the center of the capital. However, it got back on its feet very quickly (after all, the images here never became too violent or ugly) and until today it continues to steadily monopolize the real estate and commercial interest of the center of Athens.<\/p>\n

\"Architecture<\/picture>Its buildings remain the most beautiful in Athens and although many were demolished in the last century in the name of urban development and… “Agia Athenian apartment building” the architectural landscape remains exquisite. Even the apartment buildings of the ’60s, ’70s and even the ’80s are well cared for and have their character, while they coexist serenely with the old buildings that remain and which follow eclecticism and modernism.<\/p>\n

\"Kolonaki:<\/picture>We mention just a few of them: the Mavromatis apartment building of 1933, on the corner of Ploutarchou and Ypsilantou streets, a work of the Constantinopolitan architect Konstantinos Kyriakides with Art Deco details. The pre-war apartment building at 25A Alopekis Street that belonged to Maria Callas’ family, a work of the architect of the urban apartment building, Kostas Kitsikis. The Adamides-Vlahlidis apartment building at 13 Karneadou Street, a work of architect Dimitris Fotiadis – modernism with French influences.<\/p>\n

But also many of the embassies located here, such as Chile, Peru, Mexico, France, Egypt, Italy etc. are hosted in emblematic buildings of Athens. For example, the neoclassical house where Eleftherios Venizelos lived the last years of his life now hosts the residence of the British ambassador. But the most truly impressive building image will be taken from the emblematic private mansion, at the small 2 Lycabettus Square (also known as Skisti Petra Square). The four-storey neoclassical building, which looks wedged between the rocks and stairs and has permanent guarding, is the work of architect Ioannis Axelos.<\/p>\n

\n

Dexameni Square, possibly the most picturesque in the area, holds a special place in the hearts of not only Kolonaki residents but also those from neighboring Lycabettus. Generously sized and situated in a beautiful location, it\u2019s a lively spot. It\u2019s home to a caf\u00e9-tavern, a popular hangout in Athens with tables set on a downhill slope and opposite sidewalks. It also features one of the city\u2019s most beautiful open-air cinemas, a playground, and is surrounded by numerous poplar trees.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\"Kolonaki<\/picture>The caf\u00e9 in this square has become a symbol, having once been a favorite spot for Papadiamantis and Varnalis. This is where Papadiamantis was famously captured in a pose with his head tilted. Varnalis, along with other scholars of the time, would spend hours here. It\u2019s worth noting that Kolonaki also boasts a second, beautifully maintained open-air cinema, \u2018Athinaia\u2019, located on Haritos Street. Known for serving the most delicious, piping hot cheese pie you can find in an Athenian cinema, it\u2019s a must-visit.<\/p>\n

\"Kolonaki:<\/picture>A short distance above the Cistern lies the ring road of Lycabettus<\/a>, a beautiful hill teeming with trees, greenery, and flowers. As the city\u2019s second highest point after Tourkovounia, it offers panoramic views of Athens. The hilltop, home to the chapel of Agios Georgios, a cable car, and a caf\u00e9-restaurant, has been a timeless spot for romantic rendezvous for decades. To reach it from the heart of Kolonaki, be prepared for a climb \u2013 207 steps from Spefsippou str via Marasli str.!\u00a0 It\u2019s also where you\u2019ll find one of Athens\u2019 largest parks, a green oasis perfect for memorable walks.<\/p>\n

Kolonaki is renowned for its numerous museums, considered among the capital\u2019s most important. These include the Benaki Museum, the Museum of Cycladic Art (Nicholas and Dolly Goulandris Foundation), the Byzantine and Christian Museum, the Kostas Kotsanas Museum of Ancient Greek Technology, and the War Museum. These institutions are not only significant for their collections but also for their architectural significance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The emblematic buildings of Kolonaki<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Kolonaki:<\/picture>Both the Museum of Cycladic Art and Benaki are noteworthy for housing two of Greece\u2019s most significant and aesthetically pleasing shops. The Hadjikyriakos-Ghika Gallery on Kriezotou Street holds a distinguished position in Kolonaki today. This splendid house, where Nikos Hadjikyriakos-Ghikas lived and worked, was constructed around 1932 by Konstantinos Kitsikis, an architect and professor at the Technical University of Athens. It stands as a prime example of an architectural apartment building from the interwar period. The living spaces and the artist\u2019s workshop narrate the tumultuous history of Greece through the two World Wars, the Asia Minor Catastrophe, the Civil War, and the Division.<\/p>\n

\"Kolonaki:<\/picture><\/strong>Art in Athens is not confined to its significant museums but also thrives in its numerous historic galleries, more so than anywhere else. These include Kalfayan, Astrolavos-Dexameni, Zoumboulaki, Skoufa, CAN, Genesis, Elika, Athens Art Gallery, Gagosian, and more.<\/p>\n

\"Kolonaki<\/picture>The historic \u2018Filion<\/strong>\u2019 caf\u00e9 on Skoufa Street has been a favorite gathering spot for intellectuals, artists, and politicians for decades. It\u2019s a place where people enjoy sitting at outdoor tables, regardless of the season. Adjacent to it stands the impressive Agios Dionysios Church<\/strong>. Inaugurated in 1931, this cruciform-style church features a green dome and an exterior that blends neoclassical and neo-baroque elements. Inside, the church is adorned with artwork by the renowned painter, engraver, and hagiographer, Spyros Vassiliou.\u201d<\/p>\n

Skoufa Street, the square, and Voukourestiou Street form the vibrant hub of dining and entertainment in Kolonaki. Despite changes in ownership, Kolonaki maintains its mainstream appeal, offering intriguing options for food, drinks, and coffee. It\u2019s home to iconic hangouts known for their celebrity parties, such as Rock and Roll and Ratka, the latter being a favorite of Elli Lambeti. These venues continue to be popular among Athens\u2019 secular crowd. For a more casual experience, Cafe Da Capo in the square offers a chance to mingle with familiar faces from all over Athens, all while enjoying a coffee in a setting reminiscent of a European square.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Kolonaki: A Stroll to Remember<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Patriarchou<\/picture><\/p>\n

\n
\n

Patriarchou Ioakeim Street, stretching from the square to Evangelismos hospital, is lined with a variety of shops. From renowned shoe stores to quaint clothing boutiques, there\u2019s something for everyone. The street is also home to a hotel featuring a caf\u00e9-bistro, restaurant, and a stunning roof garden that\u2019s a favorite among many Athenians (Coco Mat). The street boasts bookstores with a fine selection of titles and a historic shop from 1937, a branch of the Kostarelos<\/strong> cheese factory.<\/p>\n

In essence, even if you\u2019re not looking to make a purchase, a stroll along this street to admire the beautifully maintained storefronts is well worth it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
