If you’ve ever vacationed in Greece, you know buying fruits and veggies at local markets is almost a must. But do you know how much it can actually cost you? Serbian tourists split into two camps – those who stock up at supermarkets and those who swear by the charm of local markets. But wait until you hear what’s really behind those fragrant stalls!
In Nea Peramos, just 18 kilometers before Kavala, the market runs every day, which is rare in Greece where markets usually operate only on certain days of the week. But the choice? Two stalls! Yes, you read that right – only two stalls selling local products. Prices seem affordable – cucumbers at 0.60 euros per kilo, watermelons at 0.80 euros, and cherries up to 10 euros per kilo – but is it really a bargain or just an illusion?
The quality of fruits and vegetables in Greece is incomparable to what we get back home, but does that justify prices that sometimes feel like you’re shopping in a luxury store? And what about those annoying surprises in restaurants where you get charged for things you didn’t even order? Is that just part of Greek hospitality or a hidden trap for tourists?
While Serbs struggle with prices and selection, tolls, fines, and vignette fees on the way to the Aegean only add to the costs. Is a holiday in Greece really paradise or just another hole in your wallet?
If you’ve ever wondered what a real Greek market looks like and how much it will cost you, now you have the answer. And if you have your own story or experience with Greek markets, feel free to share – maybe together we’ll find the real value for money!
