“The rooftop bars are buzzing<br />
morning, noon and night and<br />
depending on what time you go<br />
you’ll get a different perspective<br />
of The Acropolis and the<br />
whitewashed city below.”<br />
9. THE FLEA MARKET<br />
The saying that ‘one man’s trash is another man’s treasure’<br />
certainly rings true in Athens’ Flea Market. This fascinating<br />
complex of stalls sells objects that are weird, wonderful and<br />
downright bizarre. Put your negotiation skills to the test.<br />
10. THE OLD TOWN OF PLAKA<br />
Plaka is Athens’ Old Town and easily the most picturesque<br />
neighbourhood. Imagine cobbled streets, historical<br />
architecture, sun-drenched piazzas and restaurants with<br />
white and blue tablecloths. Adrianou is the main shopping<br />
street in Plaka and is lined with boutique stalls and souvenir<br />
shops. Venture to the end of this street and you’ll find a strip<br />
of great restaurants too.<br />
