The Meet Market Xmas Edition returns to the Old Depot of O.S.Y. in Gazi

5 mins read

The Meet Market Xmas Edition returns to the Old Depot of O.S.Y. in Gazi for 10 festive days, from Friday December 12 to Sunday December 21

Ugly is the new festive!
This year, as the poster proudly declares, the inspiration comes from ugly Christmas sweaters the colourful, nostalgic, slightly kitsch jumpers we’ve all worn (or wished we’d never wear). Because the magic of the holidays lies in exaggeration, in smiling without restraint, and in the most unexpected mix & match combinations just like at The Meet Market!

Two lineups, double the celebration
Once again, The Meet Market hosts over 200 #MadeInGreece brands across two exciting lineups throughout the 10-day event, featuring designers and makers you already know and love, as well as more than 30 newcomers making their very first appearance with fresh ideas and innovative creations.

The first lineup will be on-site from December 12 to 14, and the second from December 15 to 21. That means… two Meet Markets in one, with even more creators, new concepts, and unique gifts for all.

Christmas in the heart of Athens
The city lights up, sweet aromas fill the streets, and the Old O.S.Y. Depot in Gazi transforms into the coziest festive hangout. Here you’ll find something for everyone and everything for Christmas: thoughtfully designed clothing, handmade accessories, unique jewelry, home decor objects, natural beauty and wellness products, Greek packaged foods, carefully selected items for children, and much more. Visitors can pick the perfect gift or even craft their own DIY ornament for their loved ones.

Food, Drinks & Christmas Treats
No Meet Market is complete without delicious bites and aromatic drinks!
Street food corners, sweet treats, specialty coffee, wine, local beers, and festive cocktails will fill the space with scents and smiles.
And as always, authentic Glühwein awaits at the entrance with the first cup free on weekdays.

LIVE LOVE LOCAL
In a warm, holiday atmosphere, the city’s most vibrant pop-up market invites you for shopping, music, fun, and creative experiences! DJs will take turns on the decks, and the program includes unique activities for all ages.

As always, a visit to the Central Cashier/Info Point gives you the chance to enter the Grand Raffle to win one of four huge gift baskets filled with products from all our vendors.

Come experience the magic of Christmas, discover unique gifts, and support the creative local scene.
