[4K HDR] Much like most cities on earth, Athens has its share of bling-y neighborhoods, where the well-heeled go to play and sometimes work. In Athens, the ‘affluent’ areas are found in the coastal area to the south, the mountainous area to the north and a couple of areas downtown. Each district has its own quirks and rules, and that makes for an interesting set up. One of these areas is the downtown enclave of Kolonaki; long considered the bedrock of Greek upward mobility. Curiously, Kolonaki is just a breath away from the riotous Exarchia neighborhood, notorious for its anti-establishment ethos. Kolonaki, then, has acquired a label as being at the forefront of cutting edge fashion and style, attracting the literary crowd as well as the hip and young, and is by all accounts the breathing heartbeat of the city.
