Experience a Laiki (weekly market) in Greece - it is such fun! We meandered around the stalls picking up the freshest fish, fruit and vegetables to create the most delicious picnic. If only we had the same standard of produce in the UK!

There are lots of restaurants in the Plaka in Athens and it can be extremely difficult to choose between them when the menus and prices don't seem to vary that much from one restaurant to the next. For my money, though Plaka restaurant has it by a whisker with lovely outdoor seating and some exquisite seafood - the Calimari especially is incredible.

We just stumbled accross this place when we were feeling hot and hungry and it was the answer to a prayer! There wasn't a tourist in sight and the food was harty traditional Greek fare.

On Sunday the Monastiraki Flea Market is more a flea market with people selling their stuff from their homes on blankets, but during the week it is an assortment of tourist shops, clothing stores, fur and jewerly stores dotted with some pretty interesting shops. You can get some good deals, but make sure you know what you are buying and always haggle over the price!
