Greece
Street markets in
Greece are called laikes agores (λαϊκές αγορές) in the plural, or λαϊκή αγορά (laiki agora) in the singular, meaning "people's market". They are very common all over Greece, including the capital,
Athens, and its suburbs. Regular (weekly) morning markets sell mostly fresh produce from farming cooperatives - fruit, vegetables, fish and flowers/plants. Some household items and prepared foods are often available.
Annual street markets (panigyri(a)) occur around churches on the day of their patron saint. These take place in the evenings and have a more festive character, often involving attractions and food stalls. The goods sold range from clothing and accessories to household items, furniture, toys and trinkets. Athens also has several bazaars/enclosed markets.
