About Athens: What to do in Athens - Athens, Greece
Modern Athens has plenty to offer to visitors who want a taste of its city life. Shopping centres and malls are located all over the city, but the most famous of all shopping places is the Kolonaki area. Those who love to shop should visit this chic and most fashionable shopping area in Athens.

Athens has the most number of theaters than any European city. Especially popular among locals and visitors is the ancient Odeon of Herodes Atticus, which is an amphitheater located on the southern side of the Acropolis. It is a popular venue for plays, operas, and rock concerts.
