Varvakios central market

The city's covered central food market, created by the municipality in 1878 and opened in 1886, occupying the block bounded by Athinas, Sofokleous, Evripidou and Aiolou streets at Athinas 42. The central hall is the fish market; meat halls run alongside, with fruit, vegetables, cheese, olives and spice traders in the surrounding streets. It trades Monday to Saturday from around 07:00 to 18:00 and is closed on Sundays and public holidays; the meat and fish halls wind down well before closing.
