Travel Pro Places of Interest #129: Athens Central Market! Part One (10 photos)

in #travel5 years ago

Hey there friends and followers. One of my favorite things to do while traveling the world is exploring the markets. The market place is so exciting, it truly has an energy of it's own. The market is where people come together, socialize, and showoff what's good in their part of the world. It's fun, it's cultural, it's tasty, and I love it!

Visiting the Central Market in Athens was honestly one of the highlights of my time spent in this city. For most people the highlight probably would have been a visit to the Parthenon, a museum, a night out, or maybe a fancy dinner; but for me it's Athens Central Market!

What really stood out to me was the raw ingredients of the Mediterranean diet on display in all it's glory! The selection of fresh seafood was outstanding. The meat section was surprisingly gory, and to all those vegans and vegetarians, look away or take a closer look to the reality of what the meat industry is, especially here in Athens.

Overall the Central Market in Athens is a very exciting and an affordable place to shop. Anyone living in Athens or visiting with an airbnb apartment and kitchen, I highly recommend going shopping here and enjoying the fresh food and selection of all things Greek! Now come along and lets have a closer look at what is on display!

Always the best! Always so fresh!

That is one thing that I am absolutely in lovely this Seafood however grease looks totally different way than I would! How do you spell oh my God? I can only say that maybe we are spoiled Ander used to it being presented in very nice way.

The fruits and veggies look delectable and I want to jump on the back of that guy's scooter and take off. I love the miles and miles of olives because who could resist?

I want to thank you for taking me to grease and as always I wish you a most wonderful day!

#MarketFriday loves you

Upped and steemed

Thank you so much Denise. The Greece you probably think of is the islands. I just ended up staying in Athens for a short while before hoping a flight to Sofia Bulgaria. Athens was an exciting place, so happy to share this cool market with you!

Autocorrect took my word Greece and made it grease! LOL

Haha. I noticed "grease" thought it was a funny typo or something. But grease was a lot of fun! lol

Dan! buddy, been a long time, 5 months not on Steemit but changed my life around, so many stories to tell.

just read this and you will be up to date again

Heck yeah! So good to see you again Haas! It's been a while. A LOT of people have walked away from steem along with the crypto calapse, and trust me it's crossed my mind more than once, but as you can see I'm still doing my thing! It's so good to see that you have come back. Now that you are based in SEA, we'll surely be able to meet up easily. I'll more than likely be spending another winter there. That now seems to be my go to destination for the winter months. Will be like my third or fourth winter there in a row now. Just love that part of the world and I'm sure you will too! I'll go check out your post now. Very exciting to see you are back!

Cool ... I like fresh market :)

Thanks buddy! So glad to see you stopping by. Fresh markets are the best markets! Have a great day! -Dan
