The Area
Koukaki stands as one of Athens' most sought-after locales.
Nestled right below the Acropolis, this enclave is often referred to as Athens' 'Little Paris', a testament to its artistic flair and enchanting ambiance.
The district owes its name to Koukakis, a notable bed manufacturer of yesteryears, who had his establishment near the iconic Sygrou Fix building, now the esteemed National Museum of Contemporary Art. Adjacent to the historic Plaka, Koukaki boasts the distinction of being the nearest and most well-structured neighborhood to the Acropolis.
Its rich heritage remains intact, with beautifully maintained and restored neoclassical residences that echo the Athenian Modernism movement, a cultural hallmark of the interwar era.
