ATHENS’ BEST FARMERS MARKET 🇬🇷 | Greek Food, Fresh Produce & Local Life

Come with me to one of Athens, Greece’s liveliest neighborhood farmers markets — the Kallidromiou Farmers Market, a traditional Greek Laiki 🇬🇷 Held every Saturday along Kallidromiou Street in the heart of Athens, this bustling market is filled with colorful displays of fresh Greek fruits and vegetables, local foods, vendors, shoppers, and all the sights and sounds of everyday Athenian life. In this episode, I walk through the market to see what’s being sold, sample some of the fresh produce (including some delicious Greek cherries 🍒), and explore some of the local food shops along Kallidromiou Street. I also stop at a bakery and visit a shop specializing in Greek cheeses and cured meats before ending the morning at a neighborhood café with a glass of white wine and some good old-fashioned people watching. A Laiki Agora (λαϊκή αγορά) is a neighborhood farmers market found throughout Athens and other parts of Greece. Different neighborhoods host their own markets throughout the week, but the Saturday market on Kallidromiou Street is especially lively.
