Monastiraki is a flea market in the old town of Athens, Greece where bargaining used to be the norm. Nowadays, it is the best place to buy souvenirs from Greece at low prices, without necessarily having to bargain. Monastiraki is also the place where you can find antique furniture and is the home of coin -and not only- collectors. Actually the area is named after Monastiraki Square, where the metro station is. The main street of this area is Pandrossou and Adrianou street.
