One of the most interesting and vibrant places you must visit during your stay in Athens is the Flea Market in Monastiraki.
It is not really a flea market except on Sundays when some of the stores close and people bring tables and carpets and sell all kinds of stuff from useless junk to antiques.
You have to get here early because after about 12 the crowd becomes impossible and if you want to take a break it's difficult to find available table at the many cafes and restaurants in the area.
Since ancient times, the wider area around Monastiraki hosted the central commercial and economic traffic of the city. Thus, during the Archaic times there was the Ancient Market, during the Roman times the Roman market, while during the Frankish and Turkish times the Staropazaro and the Old Market on Mitropoleos Street

Lots of shops selling beautiful local stuff. Great for tourists to buy souvenirs and gifts. Clothes, shoes, leather, ceramics, traditional dresses, textiles, etc.
You get cheap stuff in the market but be careful with some items because they may not work
I got some used and good 👍 items and they are working perfectly

I really enjoyed this market, especially the little coves where they sold antiques on tables. They have lots of booths and stores with new things but of course the antiques are what make it unique in the world. Allow an hour or three to really walk around and enjoy the sights. You’ll walk by Hadrian’s Library while shopping. Like nothing else in the world!
Cheaper souvenir options available here for tourists. Do not expect too many quality options though, it's a quantity marketplace. We found some good outlets here for our spoils.
Please do note that most shops here close by 9pm. Some good restaurant will still be open though so choose your poison...
