Athens, it’s beginning to look a lot like Meet Market!
The lights are twinkling, the gift lists are getting out of hand, and the Christmas countdown is officially ON!

And as always, entry is FREE! So bring your friends, bring your gift list, bring your Christmas spirit — and leave a little room in your bags.
10 Days of Christmas
GOOD GIFTS. GREAT PEOPLE. TOP VIBES.
Forget the frantic last-minute shopping dash. Take your time, wander through the stalls, meet the makers behind the brands and discover something with a story behind it. Whether you’re shopping for your favourite people or treating yourself (we won’t tell), this is your chance to support Greece’s independent creative community while ticking a few names off that list. Feeling crafty? Roll up your sleeves! Workshops and DIY activities will invite you to make your own festive creations — because sometimes the best gift is the one you make yourself.
And of course.. All that Christmas shopping calls for a pit stop. Luckily, we’ve got you covered with delicious street food, sweet treats, aromatic coffee, wine, local beers and festive cocktails. And yes, the much-loved Glühwein is BACK! Wrap your hands around a warm cup, soak up the atmosphere and toast to the season — with your first glass FREE on weekdays. Christmas shopping has never tasted so good.
GROOVY BEATS, LOCAL TREASURES & A LITTLE LUCK!
What’s a Christmas celebration without a soundtrack? Expect DJ sets, activities for the whole family and ten days of festive energy in one of Athens’ favourite pop-up market settings.
And don’t forget to swing by the Central Cashier / Info Point to enter our Grand Raffle. We’re giving away 4 HUGE gift baskets, packed with goodies from our exhibitors. That’s four chances to win a whole lot of local love! Shop small. Live local.
Find something special. Eat, drink, be merry — and meet us at OSY!
