Under the Acropolis Rock there is one market that marries the East to the West. Multi-culturalism has a true meaning here. Buildings, objects and even people from different cultures and religions are successfully combined to create the most popular market in Athens, the flea market in Monastiraki. Each Sunday from 9:00am both locals and visitors check out the vintage furniture, clothes, shoes and many more in order to find the best bargain possible.
A little further down the road lies the Central Market. This is a food market that is mainly equipped with meat and fish products. Despite that, you can find spices and traditional Greek products such as olives or cheese to take back home. The Central market is open from Monday to Saturday from 8:00am to 6:00pm. Make sure you wear your sneakers because the roads are always covered in water.
This Athens' market is the largest one in Greece. It can be found in the Marousi district and it is accessible both by taxi and bus.

Located in the Plaka district this market in Athens carries a long history. This market used to be filled with child's toy stores.

John did a great job for us. He helped find a place for our luggage since we met him right after getting out of the airport. He was understanding and worked with us since we were late meeting him from the airport. The tour was great and the kids enjoyed it too (which is the hardest part). He was funny and interactive with the kids and the adults. He took us to some good places and was very knowledgeable.
We love exploring cities via their restaurants and cafes. Voula planned an interesting and varied tour for us in central Athens. We walked about three miles and visited a variety of places to eat. We also enjoyed speaking with her and learning more about Athens and Greece. Voula is knowledgable, friendly and fun to be with.
What a fun few hours we had as Irini took us around Athens and showed us some hidden gems. We did a great cheese and meat tasting, visited a spice shop and the central market, went to a hole in the wall we'd never have noticed for dinner and finished up with some loukamades. Irini was indefatigable and we had a great time chatting with her. She is so friendly and it was clear she had really great relationships with the people we encountered on the tour. She's a true gem!
Dionysius gave us a wonderful tour of Athens which included many hidden treasures that we never would have found by ourselves. He was knowledgeable and provided facts and information at each stop. He even took the time to provide restaurant tips & he also sent other tips for Athens to us via WhatsApp.
