Plot for sale in Kifissia Athens

Kifissia: The aristocratic district of the northern suburbs

Kifissia is a verdant and high-end northern suburb with plenty of enjoyable ways to spend a day. The area started to become a residential area for wealthy Athenian families in the 19th Century (mainly between 1870-1935) when it was only reachable after several hours on a bumpy ride along a dirt road by horse and carriage.

Today one can admire a fascinating mish-mash of villas built in various architectural styles – from neoclassical mansions and rustic romantic residences to Austrian-style chalets and art nouveau designs and beyond.

Known for its distinct climactic difference from Athens – around five centigrade cooler, mainly because it’s sprawled out along the western foothills of Mt Pendeli, Kifissia also has a more laid-back and somewhat opulent air about it.

With a multitude of designer shops, dainty cafe-bars and high-end restaurants, its no wonder that its home to a wealthier strata of Athenian society.

Kifissia is one of the most expensive northern suburbs of Athens, a great choice for an action-packed day. Enjoy glamorous shopping, admire wonderful art, dine at a restaurant and study a fascinating mix of centuries-old mansions.

Here you can relish cool air, abundant greenery and a sense of nonchalant affluence that is light years away from the sometimes overwhelming chaos of the city center.

While Kifissias boutiques may be the exclusive domain of the elite, there is an abundance of things to discover and explore beyond shopping.
