Walk along "Dionysiou Areopagitou" the most beautiful pedestrian street of Athens, that connects Vasilissis Amalias with Filopappou. You are literally under the shadow of the Acropolis! Walking along Dionysiou Areopagitou and leaving the Museum of the Acropolis behind you, you walk among excellent examples of the ancient and modern architecture. Make a stop in order to see the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, and then head towards the Acropolis or continue to Apostolou Pavlou street in Thiseio.

Flea market Monastiráki: Somewhat touristic, but nonetheless fun to walk around. Stroll around the street and try to spot the gems among the crowd. Perhaps go for some handmade real leather shoes and bags for a fair price, or fun gadgets and souvenirs. *Antique streets and Avyssinias Square: When you walk through Flea Market Monastiráki it’s a must to take a peek at the small side alleys and check out the little antique shops where you can literally find everything you could possibly think of. From velvet chairs to ancient Greek paintings and silver jewellery. A must visit!
