I think these must be intended for restaurants… who needs a pot that big?

I don’t need a 3 ft wide pan, but I do like knowing that if I ever do, I can pick one up from the local farmers’ market.

All kinds of small kitchen utensils and gadgets are available.

Dishes of every variety.

Tea sets.

This is a great place for practicing one’s Turkish!

These T-shirts have Turkish stuff written on them; I have no idea what they say!

We tried this local honey and were instantly converted!

Fresh fish of every variety!

The roving spice peddler!

Many vendors label (and speak) in both Greek and Turkish.  We live in the only city in Greece with a 50/50 Greek/Turkish population.

Almonds, walnuts, oregano, and eggs.

All kinds of local herbal teas.

You can find pretty much everything at the farmers’ market!
