Kolonaki (, ), 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, and the Goulandris Museum of Cycladic Art. Across the street from Vasilissis Sofias Avenue are the Byzantine Museum, and the War Museum of Athens.

Options for nightlife include bars, ouzeries, and tavernas.
