Greece Shopping Tips by nickandchris

Chairs....: Traditional Methods

This is just one of many sales lorries you see and hear visiting local villages. Greece wouldn't be Greece without the constant barrage of voices over p.a. systems, shouting their wares.
Usually the load looks totally unsafe or it's on an unsuitable vehicle for the amount of stuff being carried.
You will usually see someone sat amidst the goods for sale, whatever they are.
Most remoter villages are visited by green-grocers, fish-mongers, bakers and butchers. We love watching their arrival and the shouting and negotiating over the wares that inevitably takes place. You could be forgiven for thinking some huge argument was erupting!!

What to buy: Whatever takes your fancy. These salesfolk seem to sell everything , ranging from chairs (be they wooden or plastic) to pots and pans, carpets, vegetables and of course the baker. They are a real life-line for villages out on a limb without decent transport.
