Shopping for antiques is one of the most enjoyable things to do in Athens. This is because there is a great deal of antique shops in the city near your Athens hotel that offer beautiful antique pieces that come in very reasonable prices and one of these is the Darousos. Located at the heart of the Monastiraki Flea Market, this tiny antique shop has an irresistible array of old items that you will absolutely find pleasure in browsing through before heading home from the Acropolis, the Roman Stadium, the Plaka or the Agora.
Just a short distance away from the hotels in Athens, this shop's offerings include framed posters that were used to advertise goods that have been long gone from the market as well as large and ancient radio sets. There are also a great array of stamps, coins, century-old family photos, vinyl records, engravings, rare books and stamps that can be found here, as well as other exceptional items that will interest people who love scoring antique items for their collections. If you are one of these people, why don't you visit the shop after your sightseeing trips rather than hiding in your Athens accomodation.
