Shopping in Attica Region - authentic goods, best outlets, malls and boutiques

Acropolis Shopping in Attica is extremely exciting; however, due to the peculiarity of the shopping hours in Greece, you may be faced with certain difficulties. On the first hand, throughout the country it is customary to take a long lunch break called a siesta; as a rule, all stores are closed from 2 pm to 5 pm. On the second hand, in small towns and in the places, which are far from the tourist centers, shops do not work at all on Sundays, furthermore, during some days of the week, they work only in the morning. We recommend either to learn in advance the working hours of the shops you plan to visit or to make your shopping tours in the course of the morning.

The things that are worth buying. As souvenirs and memorable gifts for friends and relatives, you might want to buy the local food products and drinks. First of all, these are olives and olive oil, for cheese connoisseurs a local Feta cheese will be a good gift. There is no point to bring wines from Greece since their flavor profile is inferior to Italian or French wines; however, strong alcoholic drinks are very good and have a local twist. For example, you can buy the local vodka, called Ouzo, or Metaxa, which is also popular abroad.
It is more profitable to buy souvenirs on the outskirts of Athens, so you can save a considerable amount of money. Attica, and especially Athens, are famous for their "flea markets", be sure to visit them, look around, and compare the prices. Here you can find unique and truly antiquarian items. In Plaka neighborhood, there are not only antiques sold at the market, but also different products made by local craftsmen. Copyright www.orangesmile.com

Many tourists go to Greece to buy fur coats and gold jewelry. It is necessary to strike a warning notice here – you'd better buy gold products at the official stores, in this case, you can be sure that you will buy high-carat gold of good quality, but not some kind of doubtful alloy or gold-plated metal. There are special fur shop tours organized to Greece. Even if you come just for holiday but have a desire to buy a fur coat, you can get into a similar trip. The only recommendation for you here is to examine the prices in advance in order to know the price range and not to overpay.
Athens at Night It will be interesting to go to the market; keep in mind that it is customary to bargain here and you will have an opportunity to buy something worthy at a rather low price. On the other hand, you can just walk around since small markets have certain local charm and identity.
Attica offers a lot of comfortable places to stay. There are more than a hundred of unique historical hotels alone. Town of Monemvasia has the most of them, including Likinia hotel popular … Open
If you plan to buy clothes in Greece, it will be more economical to go there during sales, their dates are set by the state officially, so you can confidently go on your journey and expect to get the lowest prices. In Athens, the center of commercial life is Ermou Street, here you can find both boutiques of the local fashion houses and designers and stores of democratic clothing brands such as Mark & Spencer or Mango.
Athens Among shopping centers we recommend to visit the Athenian Capitol shopping mall (located near Omonia metro station). The shops are really huge, here you can find almost everything. Furthermore, there is a high-tech cinema in the mall. Not far from Nerantziotissa metro station, in the northern part of Athens, there is probably the largest shopping center of the city called Golden Hall. Here, except brand clothing, jewelry, different shops, and electronic stores, you can find interesting souvenirs. It is worth considering that almost all the malls in Athens are closed on Sunday.
Attic Peninsula in Greece attracts different tourists. Athens with its amazing classical landmarks, beautiful beach resorts and lots of beautiful places for a walk is a gem of Attica. … Open
Shoppers will surely enjoy McArthurGlen Designer Outlet Athens, which is the largest outlet in Greece. It is located on the very outskirts of the city and it takes a long time to get there since you have to go by bus; however, if you visit Greece for the purpose of shopping, you need to visit this mall. So, first, you go to Spata, a town 20 kilometers east of Athens, and then find there the following address – Building Block E71, Yalou. If you just want to buy some certain things, but do not plan to go so far away because of them, there is another option for you – Athens Heart Mall closely located to the Acropolis. Here you can find shops of many well-known labels and local brands, an entertainment zone, restaurants, cafes, and an ice skating rink, which can be especially attractive in the summer heat. Sunday is a day off though.
Athens Acropolis Another center of trade in the capital is Kolonaki neighborhood, here you will find shops of Greek brands, boutiques of European and American fashion houses, jewelry and antique shops.

If you are looking for the places where you will be able to shop cheaper, you are welcome to the neighborhood of Monastiraki. There is a “flea market” and many small shops with very affordable prices here. You can buy clothes, shoes, home furnishings, cosmetics and even more. For leather goods, whether they are shoes or handbags, go to Psyri neighborhood.

If you have missed the season of discounts, you can always go to the outlets. Hereinbefore we have already mentioned the largest one, but there is a smaller shop in the center of Athens, which will also please shopaholics with its low prices for brand-name clothes; it is Athens Designer Outlet.
Acropolis Ladies might want to pay attention to Greek cosmetics based on olive oil such as creams, soaps, masks, different hair and face products. Any product with natural ingredients has a perfect effect on hair and skin and it will be a good gift both for you and for your friends. The cosmetics are sold in pharmacies, surely the prices are not cheap, but the excellent quality is worth it.
