Neighbourhood

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area

Kitsilano is a special neighbourhood of Vancouver, on the ocean and very close to downtown. It is a unique place - famous for its beach and for beautiful trees lining the streets. In Kitsilano people walk or bike everywhere. 'Kits' has an ambiance of hippy mixed with sophisticated. It is here where Greenpeace was founded and after WW2 many Greek immigrants moved here, explaining the Greek deli, bakery and restaurants. In summer there are many outdoor festivals nearby - Greek Days and the folk music festival. Kits is also home to the original lululemon store and yoga. Plenty of similar unique stores, cafes and restaurants abound. You don't need a car here...simply stroll or cycle the seawall along the beach and enjoy the gorgeous views of the mountains and perfect sunsets. In winter there is good skiing nearby. In summer you simply do not want to go inside...
