Athens Neighbourhoods: Psiri in Athens

Psiri Athens: Located north-west of Monastiraki, Psiri is an old neighbourhood that used to belong to the lower class. The main architecture is not really beautiful for most of the buildings are big blocks of cement dating from 1970, the time when a lot of people immigrated massively to Athens to find work.

In the few last years, Psiri has changed a lot: some neoclassical buildings have been restored and a lot of trendy bars and shops have opened. It is now the young Athenians favourite place to go out and enjoy them selves at night.

It has some really nice taverns and some of them offer live Greek traditional music. It’s not a very touristy suburb, which makes it a place where you can experience the true Greek way of night life. Keep in mind than the Greek way of partying is now attracting more tourists in the area than before.
