2 reviews of Monastiraki Flea Market

Street Market

This small market is in the Plaka tourist district, close to the Acropolis and the ruins and monuments which are most visited in the centre. It is rather surprising since antique and flea markets tend to be a bit further away from the center of the city. But here, this is not the case. It lies on the plateia (Square) Avyssinías. The premises of this small square open their doors (very early as they have to take half the shop out into the street to show off what they've got) and as you spend hours walking space is seriously reduced until you are left with a space where you can only spin around and browse.

The premises are somewhat different to what we expect, many of them have more below the surface, often with more merchandise than the shop at the end of the street. They mainly contain large furniture and expensive carpentry which are too bulky to be taken them through the narrow doors and hallways of the premises. During the week the same premises are open, but the goods are not out on the street, where cars and pedestrians must pass. The central part of the market, the square, contains mainly furniture, old records and books, decorative items for the home as well as various tools and gadgets that we would find in our own memory trunks.
