Shopping

While it's so central, it's also quite easy to miss. Open all mornings, make your way to the flea market at Avissynias Square for a jumble of curios, from books to furniture and paintings, clothes to trinkets. Afterward, cross Athinas Street to the area of Psiri, where interlocking streets secret away a wealth of galleries and vintage stores.
