Thirty percent of Athens shops shut

http://www.athensnews.gr/portal/15/53914

I was in Athens last weekend, and in the Syntagma/ Plaka areas there did not seem to be that many shops shut.

One thing that did puzzle me was a cafe with boxes of fruit, and rosemary plants, on the street outside.  At first I thought that the fruit was for hungry people to help themselves to./  But the rosemary plants?  I decided that the fruit was for decoration, not for consumption - at least, not for immediate consumption!
