TRADITIONAL ZANTE MARKETS TO VISIT ON HOLIDAY IN ZAKYNTHOS
There are a number of traditional markets selling local Greek produce
on the island of Zante. You will find linen, hand woven tapestries,
rugs, and ceramic work from Zakynthos on sale at a number of roadside
markets.
Most of the really
traditional markets are located at quite a distance from the tourist
resorts. The main market is in the town of Volimes, the second largest
town on the island. At the entrance to the village you will see a number
of traditional shops selling local products. This is a charming place to
buy and browse if you are in the western region of Zante for the day.
Another traditional marked in Zante is located in the village of
Anafonitria, also in the west of Zante. Anafonitria is the small village
you will often pass through on your way to the shipwreck lookout tower.
Along the streets of the village there are a number of shops which sell
local products on the roadside. Here you will find everything from
Zakynthian olive oil, to honey, nuts, tapestries and vases!
These local products are really charming holiday souvenirs –
providing a lovely reminder of your holiday in Zakynthos.
