Many weekend events for kids or music events for younger public. Nice Xmas markets. Pop Up shops of local artisanals. There is always a part where history of local shops will be displayed as well. Great place of our neighborhood Kipseli in general.

The Varvakios food market is located on in central Athens a short walk from Omonia metro station. There are many shops and stalls selling many of traditional Greek products. Foods like olive oil, wine, bread, garlic, onions, meat and fish are available here.
Very good place, a lot of fresh fish, and other sea food. Nice restaurant, where possible to eat the fresh sea food you like.
Varvakios Central Municipal Market in Athens is a sensory journey through the heart of the city's culinary scene. Vibrant stalls, fresh produce, and friendly vendors create an authentic Greek experience. From seafood to spices, the market offers a rich tapestry of local flavors, making it a must-visit for food enthusiasts and culture seekers alike. Varvakios Market isn't just a market; it's a dynamic celebration of Athens' gastronomic heritage.
Amazing to experience this place, we meandered through the market, quite a selection of produce, meats, vegetables etc.....the Bazaar Antiques shops also very fascinating too..... loved it

I travel solo and in my experience a city's central market is one of best places you can understand their culture. Varvakios Central Market offers a-one-stop place for all the local delicacies at extremely reasonable rates. The market is full of local produce of fresh meats, vegetables, fruits, dry fruits and more. I would highly recommend to purchase olives, olive oils, hazelnuts and walnuts. The locals are more than welcoming and warm to let you taste the cheese, fruits, olives etc.
Cool place to hang with a group of friends. A lot of events to check out, plenty of bars around. All in all a very lively square usually full of a hip crowd at night on weekends.
Le marché couvert d’Athenes est animé en permanence. On se fraye un chemin entre les locaux qui font leur courses et les touristes comme moi qui flânent dans les allées. Les étales de boucher et de poissonnier sont nombreux ainsi que ceux d’épicier à l’extérieur. Les restaurants / traiteurs se comptent sur les doigts d’une main.
I loved this place! I booked an Airbnb for a month in Athens and this was around the corner. One weekend there was a pottery show on and we bought some epic espresso cups. The following weekend it was a food and music festival as part of Athens city festival. Monday to Friday local sellers sell olive oil and vegetables but the weekend it really comes alive.
The single biggest place to buy especially fresh and varied fish is in Athens. There is also a red meat section. But the section selling fish was much more attractive to me. In fact, it might be more accurate to say seafood. It is a place where you can find many seafood such as lobster, octopus, shark, mussel. Vendors are very practical. immediately cleans the fish you bought. Transportation is also very easy. But car parking is a bit of a problem.
A very small local handcrafted market. There are only about 10 stores/stalls. It's in a very non-touristy area. Took about 5-10 mins to walk and shop through. Very small market
A perfect example of how social economy is implemented into an urbanised and historical Athenian neighbourhood. Social services, marketplaces, educational courses, community events all rolled in one. Children and family friendly atmosphere, Municipal Market is here to stay and thrive.
