"Local food market close to the entry gate of the old town at the city of kotor , Montenegro. There are multiple small shops selling local fruits veg and some local produce. There are a good amount of choices and options available to get a quick bite or grab something on the way. The fruits were supposedly from the sellers local farms , though not too much flavourful."
