Amaxostasio / Old Depot OSY
Friday 12 - Sunday 21 December, 2025
Weekdays 17:00 - 22:00 & Weekends 12:00 – 22:00
Ermou & Pireos, Athens, 10553
10 days in a row, 2 Christmas Lineups, 200+ brands, 1 huge Christmas celebration!
The holidays are calling — and so is Athen’s beloved pop-up market, back for another yuletide celebration full of shopping, music, food, and Christmas vibes. The Meet Market #ChristmasEdition 2025 opens its doors once again at the Old Depot of O.S.Y. in Gazi for 10 straight days, from Friday, December 12 to Sunday, December 21, inviting us all to dive into the most festive ten days of the year.
Ugly is the new festive!
This year’s theme, as our poster proudly declares, is inspired by the ugly Christmas sweater - those colorful, nostalgic, slightly kitschy sweaters we all know and love (or not), because the real magic of the holidays lies in going over the top, smiling big, and mixing the unexpected — just like The Meet Market itself!
Two lineups = double the festive fun!
Over 200 #MadeInGreece brands will take over the space in two amazing lineups across the 10 days — featuring designers and makers you already know and love, plus 30+ fresh new artists showing their creations for the very first time.
The first lineup will be there from December 12 to 14, while the second takes over from December 15 to 21. That means… two Meet Markets in one — with even more creators, fresh ideas, and unique gifts for everyone. So, if you love discovering one-of-a-kind products, you’ll definitely want to visit both! AND, entry is free, so don’t think twice!
