Love to walk here , you are in Athens but there are more trees than cars . There is only people walking. If you take the road from monastiraki to akropolis , you know what I mean.

Nice place for touristic gifts like magnets and ouzo ... There is a disc store in the flea market where you may find really old and rare records ????????????

The actual center of everything! Plenty of #coffee spots #shops and #souvlaki #restaurant are at a distance of 1 minute walk. The metro station of Monastiraki can move you to everywhere in Athens!

Best meeting place in Athens! During the day explore the flea market , during the night try to find out all these roof bars or bars around, or just dance with the others on the square(African music )!

This place is full of live! I would advise you not to get the "free" bracelet from all the moroccons, because you will have to pay for it :)

The unofficial center of downtown athens, home for every type of mem and every kind of things. Blend in with the crowd or go to the near-by Agia Eirini Square. .feel free to explore

Central square , lots of food and drink around, very often with music

Awesome people-watching spot. Grittier by night than you'd expect. Beware the pervasive horseshit stench — no idea where it came from but it was everywhere.

Nice nightlife and restaurants . Have to try the rooftop bars but got to be careful with the kids running around as most are known for pickpocketing.
