EXARCHEIA
xarcheia is a local neighbourhood north of the centre that has an edgy, alternative vibe. Political slogans and graffiti pepper the streets, which (Greek blues) and punk bands. Here you'll find earnest revolutionaries browsing the anarchist books stores and creatives opening up art galleries. Down another of the grid-like lanes, there's an open-air food market sprawled across multiple roads, filled with bright lemons, sweet cherries and an impossible array of olives.
