Monastiraki Flea Market

Ifestou is signed as the 'Athens flea market', but the street mostly has souvenir shops. The true flea feel is on Plateia Avyssinias and in nearby small streets, where dusty palaiopoleia ('old-stuff sellers') rule. For the best rummaging, come Sunday mornings, when the bric-a-brac explodes out onto the pavements, including on Astingos and even across Ermou in Psyrri.
