Today (Saturday) Tim and I went to the Ambelokipi market with our friend Dreya, who is here for a full year, studying at the American School of Classical Studies.
How do you like them artichokes? (on the table on the right)
Fish and χταπόδι (octopus)

Now, I would say that we are no market novices. We have been to quite a few in our day: Paris, Rome, Tunis, NYC, Vancouver, Boston. But, as Tim put it, the one we went to in Athens today felt "kind of overwhelming".

It was quite a melange of vegetables, fruits, fish, herbs, nuts, clothing and miscellaneous household items. On our walk back through we picked up a variety of nice items, including a large plastic liter bottle (no label) of homemade κρασί (wine) for 2 euros. It was a quite strong, but delicious rosé which we enjoyed with our farmer's market lunch!
