Anavyssos Farmers' Market - Figs and Puppies

The Farmers' Market at Anavyssos, the big town next to Saronida, is held on Wednesdays on a side street a few blocks away from the local supermarket.

The produce is piled high on the stalls and the fresh figs are front and center in August.

The vendors hawk their produce, proclaiming their products the sweetest, freshest, best.

 An old man brought a box of puppies for adoption. 

 If you get hungry, there's always the souvlaki vendor.

 Eggs are always sold at room temperature and no one has ever gotten sick from that.

Have you ever seen such colorful grapes?

I recently read somewhere that Greece is one of the most biodiverse countries in the world. Judging from the variety of offerings at the Markets I would tend to agree. Produce changes with the seasons but it's always available.

Enjoy!
