Market Tours — Varvakios, Kapani & the Cretan Agoras

The agora never stopped trading — fish auctioneers at volume, olive stalls by the barrel, herbs from the mountains, and the lunch counters where the market feeds itself.

Why Market Tour

Worth Doing in Greece

The Greek market is the old agora with the philosophy swapped for fish: Athens’ Varvakios is the loud, glorious centre of the city’s stomach; Thessaloniki’s Kapani and Modiano markets read like the city’s Ottoman-Jewish-Greek history in stall form; and Chania’s 1913 cross-shaped agora is Crete under one roof. A guided walk turns the noise into a tasting menu with history. Compare below.
