The Best hotels in Monastiraki, Athens
With streets and alleys crammed with shops selling everything from genuine antiques and worthless junk to gold and silver jewellery, attractive linen clothes and handmade sandals, Monastiraki's seemingly endless flea market is at its liveliest on a Sunday morning. Get there early to avoid the crowds or find a table at one of the cafés or restaurants that cram the central square of one of the city's oldest neighbourhoods and the surrounding streets, where you'll find the best traditionally-grilled lamb, chicken, and pork in the city, as well as some of the best hotels in Monastiraki.
There's plenty for history buffs and culture vultures here too, from the tiny 10th-century church that gives the neighbourhood its name to Roman and ancient Greek ruins and Ottoman-era mosques. Located between historic Plaka and up-and-coming Psyrri, Monastiraki is as much a long-standing favourite spot for Athenians as for visitors.
