I agree, you definitely want to shop in Monastiraki! There are individual stores, but you should also visit the flea market. This is one of the most entertaining things to do in Athens because you can pretty much find anything at the flea market.

If I'm in the area then I'm probably shopping, but whenever I'm in the area, I like to go to Anafiotika for a drink which is walking distance from Monastiraki

Is Anafiotika in Plaka?

I am planning another trip to Greece and plan to go to Athens. I have been so many times! I thought I would share with you what I love about it.
- The Acropolis: Standing majestically above the city, the Acropolis is an iconic symbol of ancient Greece. The Parthenon, Erechtheion, and Temple of Athena Nike are awe-inspiring examples of classical architecture.
- Plaka District: Wandering through the narrow streets of Plaka feels like stepping back in time. This charming neighborhood is filled with neoclassical buildings, quaint cafes, and souvenir shops.
- Sunset at Lycabettus Hill: Watching the sunset from Lycabettus Hill offers panoramic views of the city and the Aegean Sea. It's a magical experience, especially when accompanied by live music at the hilltop chapel.
- Monastiraki Flea Market: Bargain hunting at Monastiraki Flea Market is a must-do in Athens. You can find everything from antiques and handmade crafts to clothing and jewelry.
- Street Art in Exarchia: The Exarchia neighborhood is known for its vibrant street art scene. Exploring its graffiti-covered streets is like visiting an open-air art gallery filled with political statements and creative expressions.
