About
Monastiraki takes its name from a small monastery church in its square, which is also overlooked by an Ottoman mosque and the ruins of Hadrian's Library. The surrounding streets fill with flea market stalls, antique dealers and souvlaki grills, and the district is a natural bridge between the Agora and Plaka.
Best time to go: Browse the flea market streets on a Sunday morning, then find a rooftop with a view of the Acropolis.
