Psyri, Historic neighborhood in central Athens, Greece
The streets of Psiri contain neoclassical buildings, art galleries, traditional taverns, and numerous shops selling handmade leather products and local crafts.
During the 1800s, the neighborhood transformed from a criminal hideout into a commercial district after police chief Bairaktaris implemented strict security measures.
Heroes Square forms the center of Psiri, where local pastry chefs prepare bougatsa while taverns present traditional Greek music performances every evening.
Visitors reach Psiri through Monastiraki metro station, located five minutes away by foot, with direct connections to Athens Airport and Piraeus Port.
Pittaki Street features an installation of hundreds of donated lamps creating a light display, while Evripidou Street hosts international spice merchants and food sellers.
