History and clubs
Monastiraki is one of Athens liveliest neighborhoods - a mix of history where on one hand one will find Greek and Roman ruins, Ottoman Mosque, Orthodox Churches ..etc and on the other hand hundreds of bars, restaurants, clubs, souvenir shops,... The area is much more interesting and nicer at night. The main square is just beneath the spectacularly illuminated Acropolis. Here you will find bunch of restaurants and shops. For clubs and cafes cross the main street and get lost in the maze of alleys with terrific graffiti, murals and all kinds of clubs. NOTE: this is a highly visited area, so you might expect scams and pickpockets here. In order to avoid several travelers experience here, use your common sense as in any other city and you'll be fine.

Tourist Power Walk
Monasteraki has some decent shopping, and frankly, it is slowly getting better than the old junk T-shirts that you can find anywhere. The streets are very narrow so try to go on an off time. Be alert - lots of pickpockets during tourist season!
