About this tour
This session covers Gazi's Sunday flea market as it winds down into the neighbourhood's evening bar scene. Stelios shows the secondhand stalls, the gasworks at Technopolis catching the last light, and the first bars opening for the evening. He explains how the same streets serve very different crowds depending on the hour.
Stelios checks his connection among the flea stalls before moving toward Technopolis as the market closes, timing the walk so the light change comes through on camera. He answers questions about specific stalls and bars as he goes. A short list of the market and bars seen follows afterwards.
This suits travellers curious about how a neighbourhood shifts character across a single day. It also works for anyone deciding whether Sunday evening in Gazi suits their trip.
Included

Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Souvlaki and Psiri, worth a slower look.

Questions about this tour
What will the session cover?

What happens if my connection drops?
Rejoin with the same link within a few minutes and the guide will catch you up on anything you missed.
Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?
Anything, any time. Sessions leave room for your own questions throughout, not just at the end.
Is this suitable if I do not drink?
Yes. Say so when you book and the guide will focus on the atmosphere and venues rather than the drinks list.
