Athens's working central meat, fish, and produce market — a full sensory assault that's been feeding the city for well over a century; wander the stalls, graze on olives and cheese, eat cheap at the…
Landmark · Plaka / Acropolis slopes
Anafiotika
A pocket of 45 whitewashed Cycladic houses built into the Acropolis rock by 19th-century craftsmen from the island of Anafi — wander its cat-filled alleys and you feel nothing like mainland Athens.
Shop · Monastiraki / Psirri

A serious crate-digger's store open since 1993, holding around 50,000 records with a particular focus on used rock and vintage Greek pressings — the kind of place you lose a whole afternoon in.
Bar · Plaka
Boîte Apanemia
