Monastiraki

"This neighborhood pulls out all the stops for a fulfilling day out in the city. The metro stops at Monastiraki Square where street entertainers and fruit vendors set up their small businesses every morning. On Sundays, Monastiraki has a quirky alfresco flea market known among Athenians as Yusurum. Here, you can find just about anything — from books and antiques to vinyl and china cups. It gets busy with locals and visitors, but it’s a lot of fun. Don’t fret if you can’t make it on a Sunday; the neighborhood has plenty of shops that are open throughout the week. After hours of browsing for unusual wares, head to Thanasis for a kebab and stroll along the pedestrian-only and cafe-filled Adrianou Street. We recommend that you allocate about two hours for the Agora archaeological site, the center of political, commercial, social, and cultural life in ancient Greece." - MATADOR_NETWORK
