The Central Market - Historic Centre

The Fresh Hotel http://www.freshhotel.gr , where we are staying for this leg of our journey, is two blocks away from the covered central meat, fish and vegetable market which dates back to 1870. These markets, while colourful, are not for the squeamish. In this area, there are pigeons the size of small squirrels; we’re convinced that they are definitely not herbivores. Here’s a sampling of the goods available for sale.
