Summer Vibes At Zappeion: The Meet Market Returns!

The Meet Market is back in the lush green oasis of Zappeion, hosting the most summery celebration of entrepreneurship in the city. In a vibrant setting under the jacarandas trees, we await you on Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th of July, at the coolest spot in Athens for two days full of meeting, greeting, browsing, shopping, tasting, and grooving.  Expect to find great food, beers from microbreweries, wine from local producers, plus refreshing cocktails and spritzes to elevate the mood in a summer-perfect meet-up bursting with good energy.

Plenty of new makers!

This July’s Meet Market will showcase over 80 creators – many of whom are making their debut – offering locally-designed clothing, unique accessories, handmade jewelry, stylish home decor, beauty and wellness products made from natural ingredients, packaged foods directly from the Greek land, carefully selected kids’ items, vintage treasures, and much more.

All-Day Music

Staying true to our motto “First a Meet, then a Market,” our program features continuous sets from beloved DJs, starting with laid-back afternoon tunes and peaking with dance beats by night. The music never stops!

Fun for All Ages

Coming with the kids?  No problem.  We’ll have free activities for kids, including creative games, juggling performances, bubble shows, face painting, and plenty of surprises. And there's no shortage of food and drink: mouthwatering street food, pizza, burgers, and ice cream… and for the adults, we’ve got beers, wine, refreshing cocktails, and summer spirits.

Extra tip: Stop by the Info Point / Central Cash Desk and... you might walk away with a gift basket! Enter the raffle and win one of three baskets filled with authentic, handmade gifts from our amazing exhibitors!

The Coolest Summer Stop

Join us in an open, summer setting for strolls under the trees, relaxing on the grass, catching up with friends, doing some summer shopping, snacking, drinking and just enjoying the positive vibes. The Meet Market at Zappeion is the coolest stop of the summer – where the city comes to life just before it empties out for the holidays.

#TheMeetMarket: A nomadic market of innovation and creativity. Clothes, jewelry, accessories, wellness & self-care products, art & decor, kids' goods, delicious treats, collectible vintage finds, street food, interactive games, DJ sets & positive vibes – all in celebration of the local entrepreneurial spirit.
