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.

    The Central Market in Athens is a nice place to visit for travelers. It gives a feel of the life of the locals.

    I had the opportunity to explore it twice during my stay, and it left a good impression on me.

    The market has two areas with stalls for different vendors of meat and seafood. The seafood section had a large array of species of large and small fishes, octopuses, etc., though visitors have to bear with damp floors and the smell of fish.

    The market caters to the diverse needs of the people and includes sections dedicated to various provisions, household and food items.

    One area that stood out to me was the section selling antiques. Rows of shops displayed a variety of antique items, some appearing truly historical while others seemed like items people had discarded from their homes old and dated. Although I didn't stay to inquire about prices, it was fascinating to see the assortment of antiques available. I believe that if you're someone who appreciates historical decor or is looking for unique pieces to add to your home, a visit to the Central Market is a must. You might just stumble upon the perfect decoration that tells its own story.

    Whether you're a food lover searching for the finest ingredients or an antique enthusiast seeking hidden treasures, the Central Market in Athens is a must visit.

    Superb customer service and quality of products, I went in person to the store in Athens and fell in love with the beautiful, well made products they have, fine leather sandals, belts, purses. I get a lot of compliments for my beautiful sandals! I came back home to USA and still purchasing overseas, the sandals arrived in the time scheduled and the same superior quality as in the store! I will definitely keep buying from here, until I go back! I definitely recommend them, no doubt nor regrets about that!

    If you want an antique/ quirky flea market go to the Flea Market at "Pl Avissinias" or if you want cheap imported souvenirs mostly from China then go to Monistiraki Square and try the glitzy/ well lit shops- watch you pockets!!

    Not sure where this area/street starts and ends. In the old part of town full of shops selling everything a tourist is looking for. Some nice little bars and restaurants
