Monastiraki (= Little Monastery) owes its name to the Pantanassa Church (the main church of the Great Monastery, 17th century). Here, there is the electric railway station (19th century) and the Tzisdarakis Mosque (1759). Ifaistou Street bustles with life and in Avissynias Square a a Sunday market has been held since 1910. Monastiráki's famous Flea Market is a wonderful place to visit for those who enjoy browsing through many antiques and collectibles. Discover a world of second-hand books and records, mixed with the newer kitsch artefacts and modern tourist souvenirs.
