On Sunday morning, make your way to the flea market at Avissynias Square for a jumble of curios, from books to paintings, clothes to trinkets. Afterward, cross Athinas Street to Psiri, where interlocking streets secret away a wealth of galleries and vintage stores. Lunch at the proud old Oraia Penteli Café-Restaurant, tel: (30-210) 321 8627, is a perfect end to the outing.
