The Monastiraki Flea Market

To make the perfect Sunday, have a slow breakfast of Greek yoghurt so thick you can slice it tomatoes from Crete honey from Santorini creamy eggs laid by happy Greek hens bacon! Greek cheese pastries a double espresso AND a moccacino. Then stroll down to the square and feast your eyes on the STUFF and the interesting people ogling it. Resist the temptation to buy anything, and don't give the gypsy children playing the accordion  any money. Take stealth photos. Then grab a seat at the street cafe, order a Greek coffee thick and sweet and watch the sun set over the Acropolis.
