Forbes Lists Athens’ Kerameikos As One of the World’s Coolest Neighborhoods

According to Forbes, "the laidback Kerameikos neighborhood seems to live in a magical world of its own.” Because of its vibrant neighborhood with murals painted on the walls, new exciting restaurants, and some of the trendiest places for a drink, this Athens suburb has been labeled by Forbes as one of the coolest, hip, and artistic neighborhoods in the world.

The hippie-like atmosphere of the neighborhood has caught on and even tourists check it out and hang out with the local crowds. There are up-and-coming artists who display their work at galleries, theatres, bars, and there is something do around every corner.

Kerameikos is just a 10 minute walk from the historic center of Athens. As Forbes says, "It’s a place where old and new, Greece’s storied past and often turbulent present, tradition and forward-looking creativity all coexist happily together."
