Monastiraki

Acropolis-foot transit hood, flea market, rooftop bars, the postcard view

Monastiraki is the flea-market square at the foot of the Acropolis, the Sunday antique stalls along Ifestou, the rooftop bars looking straight at the Parthenon, the metro hub that drops you in the middle of the old town. The dining here splits between the tourist-belt souvlaki on the square (skip) and the rooftop drinks with the postcard view (A for Athens is one option). The traveller treats Monastiraki as a transit hood, not a destination: one rooftop drink to anchor the visit, then move to Psyrri or Plaka for the meal.
