Kolonaki is the most aristocratic neighborhood in central Athens. Geographically, it is bordered to the south by Vassilissis Sofias Avenue, to the east by the Megaron Athens Concert Hall, to the west by Akadimias Street, and to the north by Sina Street, where it meets the boundaries of Neapoli Exarcheia. Its most frequented and renowned landmark is none other than Kolonaki Square; however, its official name is Filiki Eteria Square, named in honor of the "Society of Friends" founded by Skoufas, Tsakalov, and Xanthos, patriots whose surnames have been given to the district's primary streets. The area also boasts another, perhaps even more picturesque square, Dexameni Square, which was once the preferred haunt of literary figures such as Alexandros Papadiamantis and Odysseas Elytis.
It is a fact that Kolonaki is characterized by a distinctive architectural identity. This is primarily due to the prominent architects who designed the apartment buildings of the 1950s, 60s, and 70s, as well as their affluent owners. This creates a stark contrast with many other Athenian neighborhoods that were subjected to rapid urbanization and "concretization" to meet the housing needs of the masses, as opposed to the bespoke requirements of the wealthy elite. Hence the popular expression "Laos kai Kolonaki" (The People and Kolonaki), popularized by the eponymous Greek film.
In almost every street of Kolonaki, one encounters aesthetically and architecturally refined buildings that are clean, well-maintained, and often not only renovated internally but also meticulously restored. Crucially, the district is free from the image of urban decay and building abandonment seen elsewhere, as the prestige associated with the neighborhood's name does not permit such neglect.
Kolonaki remains the strongest brand name in the Athenian real estate market, offering unparalleled value and international prestige.
