Local craft markets are a vibrant part of Athens life, with craft markets happening almost every weekend—and sometimes even during the week—across various spots in the city. The largest is the Meet Market, typically held at Technopolis, and another popular venue is the Kypseli Municipal Market, in Fokionos Negri square. If you want to support local vendors and pick up unique gifts and souvenirs from Greece, save this page for updates on all the exciting market events happening in Athens!  Ifestou street in Monastiraki square and Avissinias  square in the same area, Evripidou street, if you are interested in spices and kitchen  stuff are some of the spots you can start. There is  even a walking tour dedicated  to craft markets of Athens and it would be the perfect  starting point for your shopping (Book it here Athens: Local markets with artisanal crafts walking tour)

Spring is calling… and we’re answering in the way we know best
Spring finds the city in a creative mood, and The Meet Market returns in its most Easter-themed edition yet. For two days, the heart of the city transforms into a meeting place for creators, brands, and visitors seeking authentic experiences, music, flavors, and inspiration in a unique spring setting. The days are getting longer, spirits are rising, and The Meet Market kicks off the festival season with its established #EasterEdition event on April 4 & 5 at Technopolis City of Athens. Everything you need for a perfect weekend in the city awaits you: shopping, music, drinks, food, activities, socializing, gifts, and good vibes. The place to be for those who love the authentic and handmade

More than 150 makers fill the spaces of Technopolis with well-designed clothing and accessories, unique jewelry, home goods, ceramics, posters, and wellness products. At the tasting corner, you’ll discover delicious selections from Greek producers, along with the most unique Easter candles and special creations for this year’s Easter.

For vintage lovers, not one, not two, but three distinct spaces dedicated to handpicked pieces turn the search into an experience.
