'''Voukourestiou Street''' (Greek: Οδός Βουκουρεστίου, ''Odos Voukourestiou'' meaning "Bucharest Street") is a rather narrow street in the [[Kolonaki]] district of [[Athens]] known for its high-end boutiques.

Voukourestiou was named after the [[Treaty of Bucharest (1913)|Treaty of Bucharest]], which in 1913 ended the [[Second Balkan War]].

Starting in the [[1950s]], this street was ''the'' street for hip and trendy European and American goods in the Greek capital as well as gold and jewellery shops. Running from [[Panepistimiou Street]] to the slope of [[Lycabettus|Mt. Lycabettus]], the street epitomized fancy shopping in [[Greece]] for generations.

Voukourestiou Street is one of the four streets (the others are [[Stadiou Street]], [[Amerikis Street]] and [[Panepistimiou Street]]) which enclose the large building of the former Army Shareholders' Fund. Now the building houses the ''Attica Department Store'' and the headquarters of the [[Piraeus Bank]]. Among others, there are a spa, three theatres and three cafés and restaurants, one of which is the famous ''Zonar's–Le café d'Athènes''. The building is crossed by an arcade which connects Voukourestiou and Amerikis Streets. This block—recently known as ''Athens City Link''—houses the majority of the high-end boutiques in central [[Athens]].
