Koukaki Athens is one of the most eclectic and charming districts in Athens city centre. It is located close to Makrygianni, beneath the shadow of the Acropolis. Koukaki is characterised by independent art galleries, eclectic themed coffee shops, and international restaurants. However, despite being centrally-located and having plenty to offer, Koukaki is often overlooked by visitors to the Greek capital. It is arguably one of the most interesting districts in Athens. Koukaki is a very safe neighbourhood. When you wander around this district, you will realise that Athens is a true night owl. Athens generally is very safe provided that you use your common sense when exploring. This is true of anywhere in the world. You could be walking around the cobbled streets of Koukaki at 2 am and you will notice that the neighbourhood is filled with locals. Athenians sit outside of tavernas and ouzerias sipping ouzo or listening to bouzouki music until late whatever day of the week it is
