The Theoxenia Palace is located in Kifissia, which is undoubtedly
the most stylish of the Athenian suburbs. It is the preferred home
of the well-heeled Athenians, who flock to the area’s elegant
mansions, luxury apartments, tree-lined streets and immaculately
tended gardens. As the official playground of the city’s rich
and famous, Kifissia naturally also sports a whole host of exclusive
stores, independent boutiques, outdoor cafes, expensive restaurants
and trendy clubs. At the weekend the area really buzzes, with people
drawn from all quarters of the city to browse the boutiques and
parade the cafes. For the occasional visitor, Kifissia offers an
opportunity to splash out on new purchases and mix with the in-crowd.
The malls situated in the center of Kifissia contain a host of
shops and cafes. The more exclusive boutiques lie behind Kifissias
Avenue, where Dimosthenous, Argiropoulou, Kolokotroni and Kassaveti
streets meet Levidou running north-east. Check your bank balance
and go equipped to spend on everything from perfumes and cosmetics
to designer clothing and footwear.
