Athens - Psiri (Thission)

The reviving Psirri neighbourhood is dotted with renovated former mansions, artists' spaces, and small gallery areas. A number of its renovated buildings also now host a wide variety of fashionable bars, making it a hotspot for the city in the last decade. While a number of live music restaurants known as "rebetadika", after Rebetiko, a unique form of music that blossomed in Syros and Athens from the 1920s until the 1960s, are also to be found. A district that is notably famous for its student-crammed, stylish cafés, is Thission, lying just west of Monastiraki where one can find the famous Bazaar. Thission is home to the remarkable ancient Temple of Hephaestus, standing atop a small hill.
