The Kypseli neighborhood is a wonderful example of diversity in every sense of the word. A wave of immigration in the 1990s brought in immigrants from all over the world, who brought their cultures and traditions with them. Because of this, you can find an array of cuisines to sample from, shops that carry different specialties, and a uniqueness that is all Kypseli’s.
This is also true of the neighborhood’s architecture and style. Walk down one street and you might find modern, concrete apartment buildings. Walk down another and you’ll find neo-classical homes and buildings that date back to the neighborhood’s origins. While you won’t find the ancient ruins that Athens is famous for here, you’ll definitely be surprised by the charm that Kypseli brings to the city.
Since the Kypseli neighborhood is so populous, some quality green space is a necessity. Its 50,000 residents get some air and peace walking down the wide, tree-lined Fokionos Negri Boulevard. This pedestrian avenue is closed to traffic, so people come and go at their own pace. Not only is it the ideal place to go for a stroll, but people also love to hang out and spend the afternoon here eating, drinking, etc,
