The Best Shopping in Athens

Ancient Greece bestowed many great gifts upon modern civilization: democracy, theater, architecture and even more importantly for some, shopping.

When the Agora was built in the 6th century BC, Athens brought shopping to the elite, making it the visual and tactile experience it is today. Modern day Athens continues this fine tradition: with its bustling markets, high-end stores, boutiques and department stores, Athens is a truly grand shopping voyage.

ATTICA DEPARTMENT STORE

Sitting close to Syntagma Square, Athens’ most luxurious and exclusive department store is a prime location for the elite traveler.

The Attica Department Store opened its doors two and half years ago, bringing to Athens a store which carries major international brands and designers, complemented by an experienced and professional management team. This iconic building, The Megaro (Mansion), has graced Athens since the 1930s, becoming a popular landmark and meeting spot. Now, thanks to its renovation, it is an eight-floor, 300,000 square foot shopping utopia. For the elite shopper who demands the finest retail experience, Attica offers a VIP personal shopping service.
