Market shopping in Athens

  1. A

    Monastiraki Flea Market

    Wandering through Athens’ flea market is an eclectic shopping experience. This is the place to stumble on anything from that rare vinyl record, military boots, old books, antiques, to furniture and collectables. It’s in its element on Sundays, when vendors line up along Adrianou, the cafés and restaurants reach bursting point and the area takes on a festive atmosphere. Having outgrown its capacity, more mainstream traders have moved to the big Sunday flea market in Thisio.

    Athens Central Market

    The hectic, colourful Athens agora (market; also referred to as the Varvakios Agora) is the highlight of the vibrant Athinas market district. It’s a sensory and gastronomic delight, with an amazing range of olives, spices, cheeses and deli treats. The historic meat market, with hanging carcasses illuminated by swinging light bulbs, is a surreal highlight. The tavernas in and around the market are worth seeking out.

    Piraeus Flea Market

    This busy Sunday market around the streets along the railway line has everything from cheap clothing to tools. For antiques and collectables, you’re better off scouring the area’s excellent antique shops during the week.
