Varvakios Agora
We are now at one of the most underrated touristic spots of the city, at the Athens Central Market, or otherwise called ‘Vavakios’.
Just a few steps away from Monastiraki Square, at Athinas Street is the Central Market bursting with all kinds of Mediterranean aromas, flavors and colors: fresh fish, meat, spices, herbs, tea, olives, dried fruits, nuts, and legumes;
Athens Central Market has it all! Most businesses are family-owned which results in a friendly atmosphere. A great place full of local fresh products where you can get to know the Greek culture and cuisine.
