Evripidou Street – A cultural crossroad

This whole area on the northern part of Thiseio (between Monastiraki and Omonoia Square) seems like the film set of “A touch of Spice” (or Politiki Kouzina in Greek).

It is full of small traditional spice shops with a selection of rare herbs, seeds and spices literally decorating the streets as they are hanging in the entrances of the shops or even outside of them.

A walk down Evripidou street, therefore, is like a virtual tour to a brighter, more colourful world, full of pleasant scents and nostalgia.

This aromatic street is considered a “cultural crossroad” for its “ethnic” character and diverse, multicultural communities.

Renowned chefs, gourmet fans, alternative medicine aficionados and curious passers-by, in search of a touch of the exotic in their daily routine, all flock this street to make it even more colourful and full of life!
