- Piraeus Open Market
Description
Colors, perfumes, voices, and motion. Deals and bargains and all sorts of things, many that you can not even imagine their existence. Starting from the interwar period and the beginning of the 60s the market of Piraeus, one of the eminently "popular" and also "exclusive" areas of Attica, experienced significant growth. The market opened not only due to the popularity and the port activity, but also due to the fact that it is one of the most traditional and diverse markets, which even today continues to grow. A market for all budgets and all tastes.
The second commercial center of Attica, which has several features in common with the commercial center of Athens, has nothing to be jealous of Athens, since it has all kinds of shops, from antique shops located in the "flea market", the corresponding Monastiraki or Abyssinia square, designer shops and department stores and of course pedestrian streets, such as the ”Sotiros street”, which is lined with designer shops each one having its own story.
The shops and eateries are severely on all roads including particularly clothing shops, eateries, bakeries, travel agencies, shipping organizations and many hotels. What can make impression to people who have not yet visited this market, is the plethora of shops and items that you can find.
Also every Sunday since many decades,the open bazaar at ”Ippodamias” Square, which can remind you the bazaars of the East.
