Northern Suburbs Information

The Northern suburbs are quiet, upscale residential areas surrounded by abundant vegetation; offering a cool retreat away from the city noise. In the suburbs you may go for a relaxing walk or chill out at a stylish café or bar.

The suburbs of Psihiko and Filothei were developed in the late 1920’s and their architecture was based on the model of British garden cities. They are quiet residential areas, with gorgeous villas, abundant vegetation and broad streets.

In Maroussi is the spectacular O.A.K.A. (Olympic Athletic Centre of Athens) Olympic Park, the central group of facilities for the 2004 Olympic Games; a must building to visit for contemporary architecture funs.

Kifissia is probably the most elegant suburb of northern Athens, popular for its high concentration of trees, impressive mansions, stylish atmosphere, chic shopping area, exclusive athletic facilities, elegant restaurants and cafes and unsurpassed confectioneries. Until the late 1970s, Kifissia, Kefalari and beyond were popular summer retreats for the upper class Athenians. Nowadays, the Kifissia commercial district is as busy and as congested as Kolonaki, in central Athens. Kifissia shopping area is upscale with branded boutiques, beautiful shopping malls and trendy shops.
