To awaken your senses, we’ll stroll through the bustling Kapani Market—the city’s oldest public market. Here, among stalls bursting with fresh produce, spices, and local delicacies, you’ll have the chance to sample authentic Greek flavors and experience the rhythm of everyday life like a true local.
