About Monastiraki Flea Market

A maze of stalls and shops selling antiques, vintage finds, souvenirs and leather sandals, liveliest on Sunday mornings around Avissinias Square. Monastiraki is the lively bazaar quarter below the Acropolis, with its flea market, Ottoman mosque, the Ancient Agora and rooftop bars facing the Parthenon, and its metro station links to the airport and Piraeus. Go early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid the midday heat and the crowds, and buy tickets for state sites online at hhticket.gr to skip the queue.

Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with Monastiraki Flea Market before you go.
