In their own words: “Then Monastiraki, with its flea market and the rooftop bars at A for Athens and Athens Was Hotel, where the Parthenon glows above the twinkling city after dark.”

Explore the bustling markets for unique souvenirs, Greek art, and popular linen clothing, especially if you're looking for gifts or home decor.

In their own words: “And here we have another neighborhood that you may want to check out. This is Monastery Rocki. There are a few different neighborhoods across Athens, but these are the top two. Placa and Monastery Rocki. You will find some markets down here that are good for shopping for linens. That's what I was doing earlier in the video. You may have saw me shopping. I was actually picking out some linen shirts. Those are really popular down here in this side of the Mediterranean. And if you're looking for some souvenirs, like some stuff that you want to put in your home, this is probably where you want to go shopping in this area right here. They've also got a lot of Greek art for you.”
