Monastiraki is one the most interesting neighborhoods of Athens. It is located at the foot of the north side of the Acropolis and this is where the old market was located. The area still retains the atmosphere of an oriental bazaar. Its streets are full of small trinket shops and every Sunday there's a huge flea market where you bargain to your heart's content over the price of antiques and any type of merchandize imaginable. It is also a favorite spot for a night out. You'll find cafes, restaurants and bars and several artisans selling theirhandicrafts line the streets until well past midnight.

Before you purchase jewelry in Athens make sure to check Aphrodite Jewelry in Monastiraki. These folks have been around for over 25 years and they have unique designs and excellent quality and prices. They are a personal favorite of mine and their guest book reads like a who is who of the Athens diplomatic corp.
