20 March, 2024

Time Out magazine opens a window on the world, revealing the 30 coolest streets in the world.

Among them is a Greek one comes 28th in the magazine’s selection, showing how tradition meets the modern element. This street is none other than Τρώων Street in Petralona, a place that embraces the history and evolution of Athens.

Time Out describes how Τρώων Street captures the evolution of the Greek capital, combining the charm of the old with the modern energy of Athens. With a rich cultural and gastronomic scene, Petralona has become a magnet for artists and visitors from all over the world, making Τρώων Street the epicentre of life in the area, where traditional atmosphere meets the diversity of contemporary art and gastronomy.

“Attracting a bohemian mix of artists, designers, musicians and digital nomads, Petralona has become one of the most popular neighbourhoods in Athens over the past decade. At the heart of the demand is Troon Street, which runs from Thiseion and the Observatory on Filopappou Hill to Mercouri Square. Neoclassical buildings, retro apartment blocks and a new wave of architecture, with friendly locals relaxing in traditional, classic tavernas and cosy bars,” says Time Out.
