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.
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.
