I left the Metro in Sytagma Sq. and went back to my hotel in the plaka through Ermou Street.
This Street is one of those streets which you have no chance to miss, its a very long one and goes from Syntagma Sq. (?) down to monastiraki area crossing the Plaka area.
You can find there Clothes shops (all brand names whether Locals or international), cosmetics, bags, shoes, books etc'.
I was somehow amazed to see the shoes shops there... so many of them and darn what a beautiful shoes... gosh i could buy at least 15 pers if only.... sigh...
I dont know why i was surprised... Maybe i had some wrong image of Athens in my mind ? Maybe...
However girls.. oh well guys too... If you like shopping when you're on a trip i think that in this case Ermou Street will be your place for that. Leave a Comment Theme: Shoes

Whether all you need is retail therapy, or whether you'd like to stroll around in search of a hit-and-run bargain, do spend some time among the shops. The fact that it is pedestrianised makes it much better navigable, and despite the hundreds of people on the street, it never seemed crowded, being wide.
On the way you may be able to see some street performers, some much more worthy than others of course. I remember, for example, two performers directly opposite each other - one was a moustached man in traditional dress harmoniously and excellently playing a bouzouki; one the other side was a much younger man with what sounded like an electric guitar. Apart from the fact that he was drowning the first performer's ethnic sounds and vibes, on closer inspection it was all to evident that the guitar was fake and that teh sound was coming from a pair of speakers hidden behind the 'guitar' case. But anyway, just a couple of metres further down and we found a souvlaki shop. And that's enough of heaven to forget everything else!
Ermou Street. Remember the name! Theme: Other

 TheKapnikarea Church by Jmill42
At night, many people (mostly young kids) gather here apparently for two reasons. One, to kiss each other... passionately and with determination. The other, is to make fun of tourists in between kisses. Leave a Comment Theme: Men's Clothes

 Las Ramblas? by AndyRG
You see here a woman who manages to steal the glances of the pedestrians with her interesting metamorphosis. There are also other such artists there. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

I use to walk Ermou when I want to go to Monastiraki from Sytntagma square. It is the basic commercial street of Athens for expensive clothes/shoes but also some low cost brands like Zara, Sprinter, Glue etc If you are at Syntagma square it’s nice to walk down Ermou though because it’s a pedestrian street (at least from the middle till Syntagma sq.). I don’t like this kind of streets (they are the same all over the world) but the Kapnikarea church in the middle of the street is worth to be seen anyway.
Many times you will see living statues and street musicians around while during Christmass it gets so crowdy that you can hardly walk into! Theme: Women's Clothes

 The medieval "Kapnikaréa" by athenian80
Ermou street is the most commercial pedestrian street of Athens. Named after the ancient god of commerce and messenger of gods ,Hermes,it hosts many brandnames (predominantly) on women's clothing and footwear. Girls,this is your place! But guys i'm warning you ! Don't go there with girls or else they'll drive you crazy entering each and every store. I know...Beginning your walk from Syntagma square and walking down Ermou str. you'll find the medieval chapel of 'Kapnikaréa'. This church of the 11th century AD was really lucky. It was to be demolished in 1834 as it would be in the middle of the street but fortunately this never hapenned. And so it remained there,on the junction of the two streets. Note that Ermou became a pedestrian street only a few years ago. The ambience at Ermou during Christmas is awesome!Bands from every corner of the world make it an experience you shouldn't miss !

 ErmouStreet by xuessium
Think departmental stores, swanky boutiques, kitchy souvenir shops, classy cafes, the odd-looking fast food joints and swirling among these.......lots and lots of people.
Think of how you intend to spend your money. Think cashier registers ka-chinking away. Think shopping bags.
Think of the bills when you get home.
Anything money can buy....as long as you have it!

The first day I arrived, the stores were closed, so their holidays are different than my holiday. but there were santas and vendors on the street. So, lots of tourist even on a closed down holiday. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherDirections: Ermou Street, Athens Greece
