Athens, the flea market

Athens, Avissinia Square (Monastiraki)
ateneThe true essence of Monastiraki can be found in Avissinia square every morning; in the heart of the old neighborhood of the center of Athens, just a few steps from the entrance of the archaeological site of the Agora. A flea market in full-blown, not a bit touristy in spite of the area, where you can find the most disparate objects.
