A street in the center of Athens has won a place on Time Out’s new list of the coolest streets in the world.

Kolokotroni Street was ranked 12th on the list, due to its shops and restaurants.

“Start at Kolokotroni Square and look inside the National Historical Museum (once the Parliament building), then wander slowly towards Aeolou Street, admiring the neoclassical architecture as you go. Stop for a Greek salad, a burger or an Indian-influenced souvlaki, sip an ouzo or a fredo cappuccino, then head to some of the merchants selling sandals, books, clothing, art, jewelry and vintage watches,” suggests Time Out.

Additionally, the article recommends its readers to stay at Gatsby Athens, a fun, playful hotel with terrazzo tiles, faux plants and a guests-only rooftop bar. “Press the lion-shaped button in your room for a (good!) surprise,” it writes.

“Drink something strong at KOTES Booze Cooperativa,” Time Out continues. The eclectic cocktail bar is full of positive vibes and plenty of political chatter (“the owner founded an independent political party in 2009”), with patrons playing chess.

“Buy old books and posters, from original paintings and book clippings to maps and works of Greek history, at the high street’s many bookstores,” concludes Time Out.
