Monastiraki Square and Flea Market

Browse Adrianou and Ifaistou streets beneath the Acropolis, then cross to Avissinia Square.

What to expect

Adrianou is the flea market's main artery, running past Monastiraki Square beneath the Acropolis. Look up to see the area’s layers: the square brings a Byzantine church and former mosque into one view. Avissinia Square is the bazaar's heart; Sunday brings more street stalls, though not every item is an antique or bargain.
