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.

Meet Market * Fall edition | 3 & 4 October 2026 | Technopolis

#FallInTheCity – The Meet Market Returns to Zappeion
A new season, new faces, new things to love—and the same beloved event. On the first weekend of October, Technopolis fills up once again with creativity, color, and more than 160 Greek brands worth discovering.
For two days, the city’s pulse beats at Technopolis, featuring independent creators, small Greek brands, new collections, music, flavors, and, of course, good vibes. From beloved designers returning to new ones you’ll discover for the first time, The Meet Market brings people, ideas, and creations together for a two-day event full of energy, color, and fresh ideas.
Discover your next favorite brand: statement jewelry and clothing, handmade accessories, home decor items, natural beauty products, products from small producers, art pieces, children’s items, unique gifts, and vintage treasures. The hardest part of the day will be leaving empty-handed!
Vintage lovers, this one’s for you
Once again this year, The Meet Market’s vintage experience spans three different Vintage Sections, with the third section returning following its success last year. More vintage digging, even more unique finds, and one-of-a-kind pieces waiting to be given a new lease on life.
Street food, cocktails & music
And since shopping works up an appetite, our favorite street food flavors are back, along with new additions, special beers from Greek microbreweries, and refreshing cocktails from the Meet Market Bar. As always, the program is rounded out by back-to-back DJ sets, free activities for kids and adults, and little surprises that make every Meet Market different from the last.
Don’t leave without trying your luck!
And before you go, stop by the Info Point and sign up for our big raffle. Three lucky visitors will win baskets filled with favorite products from The Meet Market exhibitors.
