Avissynias Square
the Flea Market neighborhood for antiques,
​curios & Used Furniture

---

Part of the Monastiraki neighborhood, with a unique atmosphere of its own, is Avissynias Square. On any Sunday morning, make your way to the Demopraterion aka the Flea Market (formerly called  Gioussouroum, from the name of a family of Sephardic Jewish traders who settled there) with the epicenter at Avissynias Square, for an endless variety of curios, from clothes and leather sandals to rare medical or musical instruments, maps, engravings, antique and new furniture or old magazines. Go early if you want to shop. Noon is the best time to come if you want to take a look around. You can have a glass of Greek wine or ouzo with Greek snacks - called mezedes - in one of the small shops of the square, and observe the bustle of the bazaar.
