Central Market
This food market offers an excellent selection of fresh fruits and vegetables, fish, meat and more. The prices are surprisingly low, and you get great value for your money here. Some specialties of the market include typical Greek spices and herbs, cheeses and sweets. This is also a great place to watch the natives in action, and see people from all walks of life. The market gets very lively and even a bit raucous at times, and always has a festive atmosphere.

Xenokratous Market
This is an upscale market in Kolonaki and the stalls feature fruits, vegetables and flowers. It has a very different atmosphere from the Central Market, and is a bit more subdued. You will see Athenian matrons shopping with their servants, who will be the ones carrying all the purchases. The produce is of excellent quality and the flowers are beautiful. You can buy them in little pots or in lovely arrangements.
