Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- Cassie HCalgary, Canada1,082 contributionsThe market itself was cool but they were actively preparing the fish when we were there and it grossed me out. Was crazy to see they sell everything from olives to live birds.Written 17 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- CPaM68Texas854 contributionsThe entrance to the Flea Market is off Monastiraki Square which can be easily reached by the metro. The market is a series of pedestrian-only streets and alleyways that surround Monastiraki Square and the remains of the Agora. It is a large market with lots of vendors selling a wide variety of items. Most shops are selling brand new touristy souvenir stuff but then some are selling older items acquired by a different generation. Numerous shops have clothes, shoes, and sportswear. If you are interested in some of the large, older items, make sure you have a plan on how you will get them home. It may be a unique once-in-a-lifetime find, but will it fit in that suitcase? There are also numerous small restaurants, cafes, and bars in the area with most having some outside seating. Although it may look a little seedy, it is supposed to be a relatively safe area, although you should always be on guard for pickpockets and I don't think I would roam the area at night. I didn't see what I would consider a lot of locals shopping here, so although you can have a great time, don't expect to find great prices.Written 13 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
