The Entrance to the Monastiraki Flea Market
The Monastiraki Flea Market is one of more colourful districts in Athens. It is spralled out befor Monastiraki Square. As far as flea markets goes, it is one my favourite ones that I have come across anywhere in the world. Much of the attraction of the flea market is the array of characters who actually sell there wears here. I have posted below a link to the city of Athens' official guide to the Monastiraki Flea Market where you can read about some of the eccentric who hangout here.
To the west of the market I found several nice cafes where you can eat lunch and have a beer.
What to buy: It seems that you can purchase anything imaginable in the market however it is particularly notable for a great place to buy CD's and probably these days, DVD's. There more antique stores here than I could care to count and they seem to sell everything from furniture to old record players and phonographes. You can also get all kinds of clothing good throughout the market.
What to pay: Can be very cheap
Directions: West from Monastiraki Square and north of the Ancient Agora.
