A lively and colorful market in the heart of Athens! Great place to wander, shop for souvenirs, antiques, and handmade items. Fun atmosphere with street music, friendly vendors, and plenty of cafés nearby. A must-visit for a taste of local culture.

At first glance it’s just a narrow street with repetitive souvenirs being sold from store to store, but if you go to the end and turn right, you’ll get the real flea market. It’s less crowded and shady. Ready lovely to just browse and hassle free.
