Here you can buy whatever you want. From the flea market on Ifaistou street to Avyssinias Square with its antiques, in Monastiraki you can find anything from anywhere in the world. The central paved square is the main meeting point for all kinds of rendez-vous. Around the byzantine church of Pantanassa and the Tzistarakis Ottoman mosque, friends gather to sip beers and watch live music events organized by street performers. In the surrounding area you’ll find roof gardens to drink your cocktails with views of the Acropolis, the picturesque houses of Plaka and the square from above. After that, lose yourself in the narrow streets of the neighborhood. Live stages and alternative bars, one next to the other, are an ideal choice to get a taste of Athenian nightlife.
