Kifissia is an affluent shopping area in the northern suburbs of Athens Greece. It is an excellent destination for tourists wishing to explore a little more of Athens, and represents a more typical area for Greek residential life.
Kifissia is amongst the most desirable and affluent districts of Athens with high quality residences, offices, shops and restaurants.
Located about 30 mins from the centre of Athens on the Metro, or easy to reach by bus or taxi, Kifissia is an excellent opportunity for tourists or visitors to Athens to leave the city centre and experience a bit of Greek life on an easy day trip. It will be something different to the usual tourist recommendations and well worth the time if you like shopping and eating and Greek life.
Located 150m above sea lever it is slightly cooler than central Athens in the heat of the summer, as is Kefalari, the smart district located slightly further up the side of Penteli mountain.
With 2000 years of history the area has always been popular with celebrities and politicians as it offers some respite from the summer heat,
