Established over a century ago, Miran is a renowned deli famous for its high-quality and unique meat products. Their speciality lies in producing Miran meat fillet, pasture, and Suzuki salami, made using a secret blend of spices. One of their signature products is "Pasturma," an air-dried cured beef from Turkey. To create Pasturma, beef is heavily seasoned with a spice mix and then air-dried to concentrate its flavour. Another popular item is Suzuki salami, a traditional Sucuk sausage made from ground beef (and sometimes lamb) and seasoned with garlic, cumin, and red pepper flakes. The link is then air-dried and aged for several weeks, resulting in a chewy, flavorful sausage often served as a snack or appetizer.
As a seasoned shopper, I recommend starting at Omonia Square and going down the bustling Eleutheriou Benizelou Avenue. Stop by the Attica department store to check out the latest designer trends before exploring the luxury shops near Syntagma Square. Next, continue your journey along Ermou Street, where you'll find stores like Bershka, Zara, Mango, H&M, and local brands. Don't forget to pop into United Colors of Benetton for vibrant, colourful pieces. When hunger strikes, take a break at the popular taverna Bairaktaris before learning about the VAT refund policy. Finally, head to the Psiri neighbourhood to browse the food and flea markets for unique finds. Happy shopping!
