Shopping in Athens, Greece

Anyone interested in a spot of shopping during their holiday in Athens certainly won’t be disappointed with the range and quality of goods on offer here. Like other European cities, there are plenty of big department stores and shopping malls in Athens, as well as exclusive designer boutiques where you can pick up the latest international fashions as well as clothes and shoes by leading Greek designers. The Plaka is great for inexpensive souvenirs, and street markets in Athens are justly famous. The Monastiraki Flea Market is probably the best known. Here you can browse for bargains, practise your haggling skills and pick up some interesting bric a brac and antiques. Although perhaps not the main attraction of your break in Athens, shopping here can be a pleasure, and if you’re looking for some great gifts to take home, head to the markets for local handcrafts, pick up reproduction Greek pottery in Plaka or buy a bottle of ouzo or high quality Greek wine.
