Impossible to miss this neighborhood because it is a sort of gateway to the Acropolis.
A very touristic area, in the summer when the Athenians go for vacation Monastiraki is the only lively district in Athens.
Monastiraki has two facets, one with a plethora of tourist traps shops, and an other more authentic, you should just go away from the central square and get lost in the narrow streets, you will find artisans and
antiquarians, so take your time, and taste this warm and colorful atmosphere.
To have a small walk with me, follow the link ' a walk around Monastiraki'.
