A must visit if you are in Athens, lots of good shopping outlets, some cheap, some not. Food varies so look closely at what others have. Be wary if taking a taxi from here, insist on a meter or you will most likely be overcharged....More

Lots of shops, flea market, cafe's and restaurants. Good place for shopping, I think you could find anything. But it's very very crowded, dirty, noisy. The more central streets are OK, but the side streets are not to be walked alone. Food we ate was...More

This area was a little more interesting than Plaka in my opinion - more shops, a flea market, and way more light food options. Fun to be around during the day or night - felt a little less crowded at night than Plaka but less...More

Interesting flea market and boutique shops fill this area away from the main square. We bought some super sandals at Mellismos as well as some nice Greek-design and made clothes for ourselves and as gifts for friends/relatives. Be aware that there are pickpockets in the...More
