The Best Boutiques and Concept Stores in Athens

Situated in the trendy Athenian suburb of Chalandri, the rails of Distressed are packed with unique designers you’ll want to get to know. Home to a range of exciting Greek labels, such as Me Then, Melocotton Greece, Sunset Go and DIG Athens, visitors can also find hipster favourite, Fjallraven, whose backpacks are the perfect accessory for getting around in Athens. The focus on laid-back and local European designers makes for a relaxed in-store experience. And don’t be surprised if you find yourself spending a few hours trying on clothes and having coffee with the friendly staff. Having ventured slightly further out of central Athens, make sure to spend some time checking out the surrounding area’s great bars, such as Mr. Peacock and White Monkey.

Located in the swish neighbourhood of Kolonaki, Number 3 Store brings minimal store design to a luxurious area of Athens. Predominantly a menswear shop, the store is pocketed away in the basement of an innocuous looking building on Patriarchou Ioakim. Inside, customers are greeted with a precise and thoughtful edit. Spend time browsing luxury labels from cult brands including Gosha Rubchinskiy, Comme des Garçons, Raf Simons and Rick Owens alongside printed silk scarves from Athenian brand, Serapis and a selection of boutique fragrances and books. Afterwards, stroll down to the Benaki Museum and soak up some historical culture to complement your contemporary purchases.

Known for being Athens’ first concept store, Graffito brings lifestyle and fashion together with a vibrant mix of furniture, homeware, clothing and accessories. The white wooden floors and glass entrance make for a bright and relaxed shopping experience, with pieces mixed together by aesthetic rather than function. As such, expect to find cashmere scarves hanging together with designer lamps and dresses juxtaposed with coffee tables. In true concept store style, there’s also a cafe inside, making it the perfect spot for a coffee or a vegan-friendly snack in between browsing.
