"Monastiraki" Monastiraki Tip by Pieter11

The quarter of Monastiraki, at the westside of the citycentre is a true paradise for people who like shopping. It´s one big marketplace. The central Monastiraki Square is the base from which you can reach the narrow market streets to the west, the Odos Ermou (part with traffic) to the north, the streets next to the Roman Agora to the south and the bars and restaurants to the south-west.

Especially the marketstreets towards the west are a very good place to find good souvenirs, antique and rubbish. You can find anything here: clothes, leather, jewelry, cd´s, antiqities, pottery, and all the souvenirs you also find in the rest of the city.

Bargaining is normal here. Looking at the goods will assure you of getting a talk by the salesman, and don´t expect the things here to be original, but nevertheless it´s a cool experience to check it out.
