We passed by this market on our way to Monastiraki square. It was almost closing time so we didn't have a lot of time to browse the market. I was still interested in looking around the shops that were still open just to get a glimpse of what they are selling. Wanted to buy the bacon ;)
A lot of fresh vegetables and fruits on this stand.
And then we saw a spice store. This was really interesting for me. The prices for each bag was pretty cheap considering the size of the bag. One bag will last for a few years with me. They had every spice you could ever want.
And also different types of nuts! I wanted to buy the almonds and pistachio's.
We eventually found an island in Greece known for pistachio's but that's for another blog post.
Do you get excited when you see a market? Do you stop and explore it?
I have not come across a local market I didn't like.
I absolutely love exploring local markets when I travel! It's such an interesting glimpse into the culture.
ReplyDeleteIt's the best way to get a glimpse into the daily life of the locals. And a great place to buy souvenirs.
