Kolonaki (Greek: Κολωνάκι, pronounced [koloˈnaci]), literally "Little Column", is an upscale neighborhood in central Athens, Greece. It is located on the southern slopes of Mount Lycabettus. Its name derives from the two metre column (located in Kolonaki Square) that defined the area even before the area's urbanization.

Description

Museums and galleries include the Benaki Museum, inside a preserved neoclassical manor house, the Goulandris Museum of Cycladic Art and the National Gallery of Greece on Vasileos Konstantinou Avenue. Across the street from Vasilissis Sofias Avenue are the Byzantine and Christian Museum, and the War Museum of Athens.

Options for nightlife include bars, ouzeries, and tavernas. The neighbourhood is served by Evangelismos station on Line 3 of the Athens Metro.

Politics

Kolonaki comprises the 42nd and 43rd precincts of Athens. The neighbourhood has traditionally been substantially more conservative than the rest of the municipality of Athens.
