The heart of the Triangle beats in the pedestrian Ermou Street, where international fashion chains coexist with local shops, creating a colorful shopping scene. Meanwhile, Aeolou Street, with its enchanting view of the Acropolis, has transformed into a hub of gastronomy and entertainment, especially around Agia Irini Square.

The area also retains its traditional character. On Evripidou and Sophocleous streets, surrounding the Varvakeios Market, visitors can discover authentic flavors of Greek produce, from dairy products and spices to traditional sweets. Recent interventions have improved the appearance of pedestrian zones, while the renovation of listed buildings, particularly on Athinas Street, adds new life to the city’s architectural heritage.
