The vendors are EXTREMELY pushy and do not give you a second to look by yourself. There were some items worth it but I personally do not like this aggressive selling style. Learn to say no or you'll be in every shop. Also haggle. They'll lower the price on anything if you haggle.

Watch out for scammers trying to put a bracelet on you or distract you. Just ignore them and keep walking. Also there is great food in this area. A for Athens is a must for rooftop cocktails and the best night time views!

Don't take anything they offer for free- like flowers, bracelets, etc: it's NOT free and they won't take it back. If your gaze connects with a shop owner, it will be hard not to buy from them, they are good at that.

Lively, fun and engaging! Our hotel (360 Degrees) opened right onto Monastiraki Square which put us dead center in the heart of the food, shopping and music in Athens, with a rooftop view of the Acropolis... There simply isn't a better location in Athens!!

This is the best you get great deals and wonderful food fines. If you go at night you can also see the Acropolis with the evening lights on. I would recommend a visit here. However if you take a taxi there it is cheaper going than leaving so be prepared for that or take public transportation it is the cheapest way to get around.

Prefiero los mercados de las pulgas de países africanos. Los occidentales están demasiado incluidos por los iconos populares (actores, futbolistas,etc) e inundados de productos chinos. Se pierde la magia que tenían antaño.
