LOCAL MARKETS
Although green groceries can be bought in supermarkets, it is worth noting that fresh fruit, vegetables, fish and flowers can be bought in open street markets (known as the 'laiki') every day. These markets move according to the day of the week but, no matter where you live, you can usually find one within a short distance of your residence.

It is not hard to find where the markets are located once you are in the area, just follow the ladies with their shopping carts! At some of the markets it is quite difficult to park so be prepared to walk with your goods!

Many of the bigger outdoor markets (A. Glyfada, Argyroupolis, Erythrea, Glyfada, Halandri, Kifissia etc) also have what are known locally as Russian Markets attached to them. Here you can find items such as clothes, ornaments, curtain materials and other fabrics, tablecloths, sheets, small carpets and even goldfish!
