Thission

Thissio, is the west border of Monastiraki and the area that “embraces” the west slope of the Acropolis. If Monastiraki was meant to be the commercial center of old Athens, Thissio was always its most “elegant” neighbour.
Its’ main road, the wonderful stonepaved Apostolou Pavlou str., is considered as one of Athenians’ most beloved destinations within the city limits for a walk or a coffee break.
Thissio is another favourite venue for spontaneous, open-air concerts and happenings by street bands and this, combined with the fact that the area is considered as one of Athenians’ most beloved destinations, makes the whole area an on-going party to celebrate the simple joys of life.
