Varvakios Agora

The experience

Athens' cavernous central market on Athinas Street, operating since the 1880s, packed with meat, fish and produce stalls and the spice, cheese and olive shops around it. Come to see where the city shops and to eat: tucked among the halls are old-school cookshops like Ipiros and Papandreou serving patsas (tripe soup), grilled meats and mezes at rock-bottom prices, day and night.

The beating culinary heart of Athens - raw-produce theatre plus cheap, authentic cookshop meals.
