Central Athens Food Market (Varvakeios)
Athens' central market has operated since 1886, but markets occupied this area for millennia. The wine section offers bulk wines, local spirits, and a glimpse of everyday Greek wine consumption. The meat and fish halls are spectacular, and the basement ouzeries serve customers who've shopped here for decades.
