The neighbourhood of Glyfada is known for its beachy and vibrant atmosphere, but what most visitors will miss out if they choose to skip this place is the awesome shopping experience that awaits them here. Get here by taking the tram from Central Athens rather than trying to navigate your way in a car. Metaxa St is one of the busiest shopping streets in this seaside area, loaded with trendy shops as well as designer discount boutiques. Don’t miss out popping into the Lelis boutique for the latest fashion trends or for some inspiration from the beautiful jewelry at Zerteo. Although there are many high- end, expensive shops here, shoppers can still find a bargain, especially if they are looking for shoes or bags. If that’s the case, don’t miss out Profilo Italiano for some great deals. You can also find several swimwear and sports gear in the shops along the streets here. There are also some great restaurants in the area, in case you need a break from all that shopping!
