Η Evripidou Street and Varvakeios Market in Athens, the Montiano and Kapani Markets in Thessaloniki, the Municipal Market of Chania is typical market samples. These central markets housed mainly in beautiful 19th or early 20th century metal buildings, they may no longer play a key role - because today's supermarkets and shops in all neighborhoods are highly competitive - but here you can still find the cheaper prices, definitely fresh and special food and especially the market atmosphere. THE fragrance of fresh coffee and spices, the voices of merchants proclaiming their goods, some smells from grilling appetizers, the shuffling of the world, the most general disorder and the feeling that everything is chatted and everything is haggled, exude an oriental bazaar air, the theater of everyday life starring people and things.

And of course in most markets you will find the hidden cafes, appetizers or fast food hangouts that mainly serve the people of the market, who work day and night.

In most towns or villages it is worth finding - in the historic center usually - the corresponding central market or central street (such as the Aplotaria road in Chios or h Papavassiliou street in Naxos) and get to know them local products of the area, while shopping surprises in makeshift shacks can be found on the streets of the national network with products from adjacent orchards.
