Central Market
-
The enormous meat, fish and spice markets are a sensory overload, especially the first, but shouldn’t be missed by any but the most squeamish. Several restaurants and even a rembetatiko dot the meat market, serving up the sales of the day until dawn. Outside, the air around the spice stores, centred on Athinas, is redolent with vanilla, saffron and dried mountain thyme.
