Shop and market
In the central streets of Thessaloniki there are expensive shops with beautiful windows, and a great variety of boutiques where one can buy fashionable clothes at high or low prices.
Thessaloniki is also famous for its food markets. Modiano is the biggest food market in the city and it is well-known all over Europe. Next to Modiano are many flower shops that give a special colour to the area, and the Turkish old baths Giahoudi Hamam.
Within Modiano there are small taverns, coffee shops, places where ouzo is served, and where a lot of artists often go.
Other traditional markets are those of Vlali, kapani, Agora Solomou, and Vardaris, a rather bad-famed area. In stoa Karasso (Karasso Arcade) and Bezesteni women may buy real or fake jewellery, and innumerable little fashionable objects. A few blocks away, in Coppersmith's street, there is a great number of coppersmith 's shops. The eastern influence is clearly manifested in such places.
