Flea Market

The biggest, best and most popular flea market in Athens is undoubtedly the famous Monastiraki Flea Market, a shopping paradise located in the heart of Athens, in the legendary Monastiraki Square.

The Monastiraki Flea Market is undoubtedly one of the best places for second-hand shopping in Athens and where you can find top Greek souvenirs to take home with you. Within the Monastiraki Flea Market, tucked away in Abyssinia Square is the famous Athens Antiques Market, which comes alive every Sunday; known as the Sunday Market of Athens.

From beautiful antiques to vintage jewellery and various other accessories, you can find the most eccentric and quirky items and a few treasures in between. Plus, if you get tired of trying to find a bargain, you can take a coffee break at Cafe Avissinias, which also happens to serve delicious traditional dishes.

A great advantage of the Monastiraki flea market, apart from its central location, which is right next to the famous Ermou Street and close to the neighborhoods of Thiseion and Plaka, is the fact that it is easily accessible, as the metro and train station “Monastiraki” is right outside its entrance; you have no excuse to miss the experience of visiting it!
