With new fashion lines set to drop into the brand-operated stores every week, McArthurGlen Designer Outlet Athens is situated in Spata, within 30 minutes drive of central Athens, and near the international airport. The open-air centre, on the site of a former vineyard, and protected from the hot summer sun by a series of pergolas, reflects a neoclassical style, invoking the intimate atmosphere found when walking through a picturesque neighbourhood of Attica, the historical region of Greece where the centre is located.

In addition, the centre has beauty, homeware and travel accessory brands, as well as ten cafes and restaurants, including both international, in particular Italian, and local, Greek concepts, and a Fairynails nail bar.

McArthurGlen's Top tips to successful designer outlet shopping:

1. It's well worth investing in timeless key pieces such as the classic Burberry trench or the Mulberry Bayswater. You won't find a better cost per wear ratio anywhere else.
2. Channel key trends for less! Designer outlet shopping gives you the chance to find product that is still in-keeping with this season's trends
3. Make a day of it! The perfect way to catch up with friends and indulge in retail therapy at its best – take your time and enjoy a relaxed coffee or a long lunch in some of the centre's restaurants and cafes.
4. Visit regularly and be the first to know about special offers, new collections and events in-store and in the centre – look into picking up a McArthurGlen Temptation Card.
5. With such a vast selection of brands to choose from, shopping for seasonal outfits, including weddings, race days and holidays, couldn't be easier. Wow guests at the church with a fashion forward designer outfit and then reveal your secret at the reception.
