Markets - Greek Style!
eslater 1 contribution Perth, Western Australia, Australia, Australia Sep 23, 2011
The famous Monastiraki Square was the first proper attraction I visited so far in my time at Athens, I loved the atmosphere about it! Everything and everyone were joyful and happy, the energy put you into a good mood. Every Sunday is the very popular (and Traditional) Flea Market; where people sell there trash that could be someone elses treasure!

I went down stairs …

Gifts and History
Another day, another oppotunity to explore something new about Athens. Today was a bit different though, this morning I had to get up quite early because (like I said before) I was going back to the Monastiraki Square for the traditional Sunday Flea Market. I woke up at 6:00am, had a shower and got dressed. I didn't think breakfast was ready to be …
