Chania’s Public Market Counts a Century | Greece.GreekReporter.com Latest News from Greece

Chania’s Public Market Counts a Century | Greece.GreekReporter.com Latest News from Greece

I went to this market regularly when I was in Chania.

Another, much smaller, "market" that comes to mind is that in Mykonos.  This was a few years ago, so things may have changed.  But in the early morning produce (both fruit and veg., IIRC) was on sale by the harbour.  A completely different atmosphere to the tourist oriented shops elsewhere on Mykonos.

And in Kastelorizo there was a large (by any standards, not just by Kastelorizo standards!) market hall with sloping slabs for produce.  I stayed in a room just behind the market hall, but never saw a market during the week i stayed on Kastelorizo.

Airport Food and Drink

At larger airports food is likely to be "international". Some of the smaller Greek airports used to have quaint food outlets. Coffee made on a camping gas stove on the counter. A communal bottle of water. Cans of drink and a pot for money in the fridge. One small airport (Kastelorizo) only seemed to have one employee (and that may have been a part-time job, there were so few flights!). The same chap sold plane tickets in the village, drove the bus to the airport, and was on the runway when we took off. I was half expecting him to fly the plane as well! There were a few offices at the airport, with job titles on the door - I saw this chap in several of these offices.
