The People’s Market – Η Λαϊκή Αγορά

A few weeks ago I went to the big city, about an hour away from my town. This city has an open air market that is huge. In Greek we call it the “Laiki” market.  It comes from the word “Laiki” which means popular or for the people.  Come with me as we go shopping at the market.  

Πριν λίγες εβδομάδες πήγα στη μεγάλη πόλη, περίπου μία ώρα μακριά από τον τόπο  μου. Αυτή η πόλη έχει μια Λαϊκή αγορά που είναι τεράστια.  Ελάτε μαζί μου, και πάμε για ψώνια στην λαϊκή.

The People’s market  goes on for block and blocks.  It has practically anything you could want. Aside from fruits, vegetables with hundreds of stalls, there are  fish vendors…

Έχει σχεδόν τα πάντα που θέλετε.  Εκτός από τα φρούτα και τα λαχανικά με εκατοντάδες πάγκους, υπάρχουν πωλητές ψαριών …

The People’s market is always open on its designated day.  When it rains we all huddle under the canvas awnings. In the summertime they provide shade from the sun.  Is that an authentic Dior?   

Η Λαϊκή αγορά είναι πάντα ανοικτή στις καθορισμένες ημέρες. Όταν βρέχει όλοι  μαζευόμαστε κάτω από τις τέντες καμβά.Το καλοκαίρι  παρέχουν σκιά από τον ήλιο. Αυτό είναι ένα αυθεντικό Dior;

Are these airplane seats outside?  Let’s sit here awhile and catch our breaths. 

Αυτά ειναι καθίσματα του αεροπλάνου έξω στο δρόμο; Ας καθίσουμε εδώ για λίγο και να πιάσουμε την ανάσα μας.

​Depending on the size of the city the People’s market can be big or small.  In my small town, it’s only a few blocks long. I usually shop for the fresh fruits and veggies, but sometimes I can also find a great bargain in shoes (not the pink ones).  We can always count on the Laiki to be opened on its designated day! Do you have anything similar in your area and what do you shop for? 

Ανάλογα με το μέγεθος της πόλης, η λαϊκή αγορά μπορεί να είναι μικρή ή μεγάλη. Στη μικρή μου πόλη, είναι μόλις λίγα τετράγωνα. Συνήθως ψωνίζω για τα φρέσκα φρούτα και λαχανικά, αλλά μερικές φορές βρίσκω καλές ευκαιρίες στα παπούτσια (όχι αυτά τα ροζ). Μπορούμε πάντα να υπολογίζουμε στη λαϊκή να ανοίξει στις καθορισμένες ημέρες της! Έχετε κάτι παρόμοιο στην περιοχή σας και τι ψωνίζετε;

  1. I usually only frequent fruit and vegie markets but loved the hustle and bustle of a market I visited in Kavala. So many things to tempt! I couldn’t resist a little pair of earrings, light and adding nothing to the weight of my suitcase. I still love them, they bring so many happy memories.

  2. Pink desert boots? I normally hate pink, and even though those wouldn’t charm my money out of my pocket, but there’s something about how improbably the combination is that makes me like them.

  3. It would take me forever to get through it all. I would want to stop and look at everything. Love the toys and yarn…oh and the scarves! I imagine there were books there too! Very fun place to walk!

  4. How beautiful and how fun! I’d love to browse in a market like that! We have flea markets in the Midwest USA. They are mostly filled with junk but one can find useful and interesting treasures. For fresh produce and homemade food goodies we have Farmers Markets. I love to pick up my fruits and veggies there.
