Scariest Market in Europe? 🇬🇷
Nestled in the outskirts of Athens, Eleonas Flea Market has earned a reputation as one of Europe’s most unsettling marketplaces. In contrast to the lively, tourist-friendly Monastiraki Market, Eleonas feels shadowy and raw, mirroring the hardships of the impoverished community it serves. A TH-cam video titled "The Scariest Market in Europe" explores this market, shedding light on its challenges, products, and the unique atmosphere of the area.
Eleonas Flea Market is closely tied to the nearby Eleonas refugee camp, home to refugees from war-torn countries such as Syria and Afghanistan. The camp's overcrowded and unsanitary conditions reflect the struggles of its residents, many of whom turn to the market to sell goods, often sourced through questionable means. Electronics, clothing, household items, and food are available at rock-bottom prices, but the origins of these products often remain murky, leading to suspicions of smuggling or theft. The market exists in the shadows, a space where survival takes precedence over legality.
The video contrasts Eleonas with the vibrant Monastiraki Market, where tourists flock for antiques, handmade crafts, and cultural souvenirs. While Monastiraki symbolizes Athens’ rich history and thriving tourism industry, Eleonas represents a harsher side of the city, a place of economic hardship and social struggle. Yet, amid the grit, there are signs of resilience-jolly vendors who manage to smile, communities who find support, and moments of human connection that defy the dire circumstances.
Despite its reputation, Eleonas Flea Market is not just a place of fear-it is a place where people fight to make a living and hold onto their dignity. It reflects Greece’s larger struggles with poverty, migration, and inequality. The market may feel intimidating to outsiders, but for many, it’s a lifeline, a testament to the resilience found in even the darkest corners.

Master the Best Technique for Tying Roe and Catch More Fish
Yes it is very dangerous and bad.. please stay away, you idiotic gentrifiers
Is snagging actually easier than regular fishing? It seems like it would be way harder
It's easier for fish that face the stream
The scammers are Arab refugees who need to go back home.
I lived in Istanbul for 5 months. It was the best time of my life and i’ve returned multiple times. As long as you are cautious the first week of exploring the culture and city, you’ll not get scammed, unless you let them scam you. Besides that it of course sucks to get scammed! (The gum being twenty lira is not more than normal btw, how do you expect getting a pack of gums for less than 90 cents😅)
The hagia sophia was built as a church and used by the byzantines. Later on it was changed into a mosque and got its ‘towers’ ;)
It did look like one.
In Athens while watching this😂
You'll have a great time. 👍
@ leaving after 3 days😔
You should go Arachova or the monasteries on the mountains.
7:58 what does she mean by that exactly? teach her some history or cut that part...or better have a trip in an english museum and see where the rest 'meh' are
You start with an error. Athena the Goddess of war….?!?! She is the Goddess of wisdom !
Goddess of both actually
Arabs dont come you are not welcome here
luckily my travel there is very nice and no scammers, but i do experience turkish are rude.
I guess it depends on your luck
No they didn't. The revolution failed and the junta failed because Turks invaded Cyprus a year later
the penis represents fertility and more.
is it because of afrodite? or is it a separate thing by itself?
@AdventuresFactory also about the growth,and the well being,preservation of life...
You made it sound so poetic. that's brilliant.
Nice, i am from Greece living in Thessaloniki 500km away but i 'll love to visit that market in Eleonas. I think your approach both in Eleonas and in Monastiraki was really good, alerted and respectful at the same time. Good job🎉🏛🇬🇷💎📐
I appreciate it. Thank you!
we use to have a lot of this markets.. all over athens but as u say its gyps so they move them all the time .. if u are still in athens check the sxisto market 5 miles from there.. the same mostly sunday..
Oh, that's interesting. Thank you for telling me that.
And know you know why all illegal invaders' have to be deported ASAP from Greece
You are in Greece and you upload a video with that title: Scariest Market in Europe. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH good one. The only reason the place is a mess at the begining are gypsies which they do what you saw there at every place they go.
because I need you to watch it 😅
Next level misinformation right here....
Can you elaborate?
Is this Greece or Colombia ?
Greece
i am from greece the past 15 years . Greece become 3rd world society athens is the sitiest place to live
Don't sell it short. It's still a beautiful place in its own way.
@AdventuresFactory try to make a living there.
@Monderakos no of course. I understand what you mean. It's been tough everywhere, though after 2019. Even in Toronto. Life has been really tough.
@@AdventuresFactory haha we cant even compare greece with canada u can understand that
Fantastic 🎉 I going there soon
We're going next month
Where is this ?
Egypt
@@AdventuresFactory yeah but is it in sharm el sheikh don’t gatekeep 🙄

Thank you so much 😁.
POV your friend Him : I want no alcohol beer Waiter : we have Him : no I know it has 0,5 inside Waiter : I am not joking it’s 0.0 Him : u sure Waiter: what am I lying?
Yeah, lol. He drank so much that the doctor advised him to quit.
I’m from Greece actually living close enough to this place and I didn’t even knew about this place .Its probably a gipsy and poor local market not popular at all
I finally went somewhere a Greek hasn't been. 🥳.. it's actually popular on weekends, but it's definitely not for everyone.
Ah, you found the gypsy corner.
yep.
turkey is one of the worst countries to visit
The only dangerous thing in Exarchia was always police and its intentions. Until 2018 Exarchia was an alterntative area with a lot of movements co existing like leftists and anarchists and every weekend also youngsters of hipster roots. But always police, either covered or uncovered, staged provocations or excessive control after demos. Also, we had several murders from police at that area since ever(Kaltezas,Koumis,Kanellopoulou,Grigoropoulos). So ,except of a lively neighborhood,was a fully political one and thus fully policed. Exarchia were aimed from deep state of Greece and were in the epicentre of everything social and resisting in Athens. Now its busier and uglier and POLICED with a metro station ruining its cell, the Exarchia square where solidarity and politics use to exist, now is gentrification and police!

well the translation just says "friend kalosirthes. lol.. what does that mean?
God damn it Americans....Athena is not the goddess of war...she was the goddess of wisdom...don't learn mythology from Holywood🤣🤦🏾
it was Wikipedia. 😅
I didn’t say yes😂
Im from greece and ik athens messy its not oike america if it was like america it had to win the ottomans
You can't compare. America is nice. Greece is nice, too, in a different way. The mountains in Greece are especially magnificent.
Hotels are awful in Turkey. If you book a 5 star hotel then it is provably a 4 star one.
Do not go to Istanbul, never go there or if you go just stay for no more than a day.
I realized that's the case. How is Anqara?
I am not saying this kind of scams in Istanbul doesn't exist, but he is just lying about the scam 1, no footages or photos of the situation, not even one intro video. Then I stopped with watching this SCAM video... just very pitty...
I didn't go to Istanbul either. Maybe everything is just AI. Who knows, maybe I'm not a human either, just a PC character. You go to the bar scam and film it with a gopro. Let's see what happens to you and your camera. I filmed what I was able to. I'm only one person in a new country, and I don't know anyone, nor do I speak the language. Had I known that I was going to get scammed a lot, I would have brought with me a discrete camera that's unnoticeable. It wasn't the plan. The smallest thing I was able to bring with me was my gopro, which is usually attached to a stick and a brain to tell me if it's worth using it in the presence of gangs.
Why the fuck should anyone have to worry about those piece-of-shit scammers instead of enjoying their damn trip? Yeah, scams happen everywhere, but in Istanbul? It's on a whole other messed-up level. Every damn meter, there's some low-life scumbag just waiting to rip you off. Can't walk a step without one of these assholes lurking, ready to screw you over. don't normalize it.
It wasn't normal. It gives the visitor a sour taste in their mouth about the city.
You wanna see if its bad? Get some panathinaikos tickets and go see the match you'll see everything you want to know
Lol.. I think that's almost everywhere there's soccer fans.
I liked your video …..so Thanks for sharing and see you soon …….Alex🇬🇷
Absolutely.. thank you for your positive comment. These comments make my day. I'll see you soon too.
Just for not false information the small temple that they say was an original and then copy pasted for acropolis isn't that it is actually Hephaestus temple😅
Athena is the godess of wisdom
I blame Wikipedia English. 😅.. next video, I'll make sure to do a rigorous fact check.
FYI Americans don’t need a visa anymore
I'm jealous. We still need a visa. ☹️
Garson means waiter. He doesn't know the waiter
Which part?
As a Turkish i loved your content. Its really sincere.
I appreciate it. Thank you. ❤️
You clowns. You know shite!
Born in Athens, I love the city, but it needs some major changes.
w content bro, keep it up
Thanks a lot. I'm trying to make time for more videos. Your comment just made my day.
i always hear bombs and guns bro..... in greece
Really? In the city?
@@AdventuresFactory well im in attiki- athens so i hear everything with my mom
As a greek, i can assure that exrchia is a subcultural anarchist dumpster of government-contoled far-left elements. Crime and filth are preponderant
Acropolis is 2500 years old, the streets are modern though.
