Varvakeios market, Market hall in central Athens, Greece.
The Varvakeios market spans both sides of Athinas Street, containing separate halls for meat, fish, and an open-air section for fruits and vegetables.
Following the destruction of the previous marketplace in 1884, the current market building was constructed between 1876 and 1886 under architect Ioannis Koumelis.
The market functions as a central gathering place where vendors establish long-term relationships with customers through daily interactions and personalized product recommendations.
Located between Monastiraki and Omonia, the market operates Monday through Saturday from 7 AM to 6 PM, offering fresh produce, meat, fish, and traditional Greek ingredients.
Small traditional eateries within the market serve patsas, a traditional soup made from pork legs and tripe, particularly popular among early morning visitors.
