Kerameikos named one of the world’s coolest neighbourhoods

Kerameikos in Athens, one of the coolest neighbourhoods in the world.

This hip and creative hub is filled with an array of exciting new restaurants, tavernas, and street food joints, not to mention it's now one of the trendiest places in Athens to grab a drink.

The neighbourhood’s profile is being noticed worldwide amongst foodies, coffee connoisseurs, and cocktail lovers as you are bound to find some of the best souvlaki, espresso, and martini here!

What makes Kerameikos so interesting is the creative locals setting up shop here and the tremendous crowds that come to support them.

This district is famous because of its culinary backstreets, “Just a ten-minute walk from Athens’ buzzing historical centre, the laidback Kerameikos neighbourhood seems to live in a magical world of its own.

“It’s a place where old and new, Greece’s storied past and often turbulent present, tradition and forward-looking creativity all coexist happily together. At the weekly street market, the neighbourhood comes alive in a riot of sights, smells and flavours. In recent years Kerameikos’s low rents and old-time feel have lured creative young Athenians to the area, where they have opened inventive restaurants, bars and cafés along with galleries and theatres.

Joining Kerameikos’s rich trove of existing old-school establishments, these new spots have helped create one of Athens’ most exciting dining and cultural scenes,"
