Forma – Bargain shopping

A small suburban neighbourhood called Pefki, in the northern part of the town, hosts “Forma”, one of the funkiest shops selling pashminas and all sorts of scarfs, in every fabric, texture & colour scheme imaginable.

The shop does not specialize in these items only, as there’s a big variety of purses, belts, wallets, shoes, umbrellas, even slippers to choose from; with pashminas & scarfs definitely being my favourite ones in there, especially for wintertime! They also stock a great selection of woolie hats, leather or fleece gloves and mittens, too.

For the summertime, they bring out a great collection of beach bags & beach footwear.

It’s a good 20-minute bus ride from downtown Athens, but without a doubt totally worth it for some exceptional shopping on a budget. Just a 5-minute walk from close by “Maroussi” train station (green line 1). Check it out!
