It’s free to browse the shops and dine in the restaurants lining Adrianou Street, but many visitors explore this lively road as part of a walking or e-bike tour that covers other Plaka and Athens’ city sights. Guided e-bike tours start at around US$35, while walking tours are closer to US$65. You can also book a driving tour that stops here for around US$200.

Take metro line 1 or 2 to Monastiraki station, just a short walk from Plaka, where Adrianou Street is located. Once you reach the pedestrian-only thoroughfare, explore its shops and restaurants on foot. You can also visit the hamlet of Anafiotika—also pedestrian-only—and walk to nearby sights, such as the Choragic Monument of Lysicrates and the Museum of Greek Folk Art.

Adrianou Street is one of the most popular roads in Plaka, and it experiences wall-to-wall visitors during the peak midday hours. Visit first thing in the morning or in the late afternoon to stroll and browse the shops without having to navigate the throngs. You can also head here after sunset to enjoy dinner in one of the many restaurants located along the street.

This shopping and dining hub is home to a wide range of stores that sell everything from traditional Greek arts and crafts to inexpensive souvenirs. Browse handmade shoes and leather goods, jewelry, ceramics, and homewares. You’ll also find contemporary Greek design, antiques, books, and memorabilia.

Much of Adrianou Street is closed to traffic, making it stress-free to explore in a wheelchair. However, not all the shops and restaurants located along its length are wheelchair accessible, so confirm before visiting. On the stretch of Adrianou Street that is open to vehicles, sidewalks are narrow and may be challenging to navigate on wheels.
