Just a short walk from the city center, unpretentious Pangrati is gentle by day, spirited by night, and full of character all the time!
Perched above the imposing white marble Panathenaic Stadium, better known as the Kallimarmaro, the site of the first modern Olympic Games. The National Museum of Contemporary Art displays international works in a converted brewery. Cypress trees and marble sculptures flank the paths of the quiet 1st Athens Cemetery. Greek delis, ceramics shops, and indie galleries share streets with pizzerias, casual tavernas, and gourmet restaurants.
Pangrati is a cozy yet quirky neighborhood with steep streets that give impressive glimpses of Lycabettus Hill and Mt Parnitha in one direction and dramatic views of Mt Ymittos in the other.
