Every Saturday in my neighbourhood is the largest flea market in Thessaloniki.
We shop the vegetables and fruits of the week .
But my greatest joy is when I go on the road with flowers.
ceramics ,soil .garden items.........
But the truth is that I got home with all necessary shopping and with enough
flowers for planting . The pleasure was great and next post will show the results !!
Lovely market Olympia - look forward to seeing which plants you have chosen for your garden.
ΑπάντησηΔιαγραφήHello Olympia:
ΑπάντησηΔιαγραφήHow we should love this. Indeed, wild horses, as we say, would not keep us away. And apart from the wonderful colours and the obvious hustle and bustle of buying and selling, what absolutely splendid variety. Something for everyone most certainly.
What a great market and so many things you can buy there. Nice photos.

I would like to jump into those magnificent, jolly pictures and wondering around to see, hear and smell it all! Absolutely beautiful! Lucky Olympia! xxx Christa
ΑπάντησηΔιαγραφήOlympia... I love the cheese stall! I could spend a lot of money there. I jusy wish I could close my eyes and fly to a quiet Greek Island, just to escape the rain and the grey sky. It's been raining for days, non stop... day and night...

What a wonderful market! I love it! Such a variety of lovely food, flowers and all goods. Of course, like you I would like to buy many pots of plants, there are so many! The climbing geraniums are very pretty. I'm looking forward to seeing your pots when you have planted.
ΑπάντησηΔιαγραφήThank you for the comment on my blog about Gallipoli. You have been there! Many Australians visit every year. There were Greek Veterans marching in the parade too.
Hope you have a wonderful week. It is Monday morning here and it's cold!!
What a wonderful market!

Dearest Olympia,
ΑπάντησηΔιαγραφήWhat a joy your market days must give you! You show great produce and it makes one eager to start cooking at home. Sure, buying plants, flowers is another joy. Looking forward to you follow up.
Love to you and thanks for visiting!

Hello dear Olympia,
ΑπάντησηΔιαγραφήwhat a wonderful market place! I have never seen anything quite like it, it's so very large.
I have never seen climbing geraniums either, they must be a different variety than what we grow here in Canada.
Have a lovely week,
Hugs, Cindy
Dear Olympia, Thank you for your comment on my yesterday's post. I guess in your place it is hot and sunny - here it is cold and cloudy and rainy. So these photos of Italy are good for one's soul! Happy day, CHrista
ΑπάντησηΔιαγραφήOlympia,
ΑπάντησηΔιαγραφήThese pictures made me so happy, and I enjoyed looking at all the booths at the marketplace. That is wonderful that you have something like this every Saturday. When Jess went to Greece, she went to a marketplace similar to this, and she had the most wonderful time. I love all the pictures here - the strawberries, the olives, the red flowers, and just the people living and loving life. Oh, I am so filled with joy to be part Greek. Thank you for sharing these wonderful pictures. And thank you for your comments. They are always so lovely.

A busy long weekend Olympia.
ΑπάντησηΔιαγραφήThe photos of your village market place is so inviting. All sorts of lovely fresh vegetables and clothes ..how exciting.
It looks as though you are having better weather than we are.
The rain will be with us for the rest of the week.
I hope your 1st of may was a happy day.
best wishes

What a beautiful market...I'd rather shop outdoors withthe beauty of this market than in any stuffy grocery store dominated by ads.
