Monastiraki Square is one of the most enchanting squares in Athens, being the home to restaurants, cafes, shops, the famous flea market and plenty of ancient history. In the square, you can admire the sunken Church of Pantanassa, the only remaining part of the monastery (or rather nunnery) that existed on location during the Byzantine period and gave the area its name (Monastiraki means little monastery).
