What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors praise the market for its abundance of fresh produce, local delicacies like olive oil and honey, and the opportunity for bargain hunting on clothing and souvenirs. However, many note that the market significantly winds down by noon due to heat and fewer shoppers, with a large portion of goods being imported clothing.
"Be here early in the morning (08:00 it opens) if you want to experience the Flea Market, because it is held only on Monday, and at 12:00 pm (noon) most of the people are leaving. I got here at 12:00 and the market was almost empty. People are rushing home to escape the heat. Too Bad, it is so in a rush. Years ago the market was very animated and lively. Today, it's full of china clothes and shoes and a few vegetables and fruits, few spices and honey, olive oil etc."
