An open-air street market takes place every Thursday along Odos Dimitrakaki, beside Rethymno’s public gardens. It starts early in the morning and winds down by midday. It is a rather patchy affair, but can sometimes be fascinating.
-
The most photogenic market in Crete spills out – as indeed it has for centuries – from openfronted shops and stalls along Odos Ethnikis Andistasi and around the Venetian Porta Guora. Go early in the morning, when it is in full cry and waiters bustle from stall to stall with coffee and raki.
-
Running through the centre of the old quarter, this has been a street of saddlemakers and cobblers for centuries, perhaps even millennia. These days, satchels, sandals and handbags abound.
-
Rethymno’s up-market shopping street, lined with stores selling copies of Minoan pottery, traditional Cretan pottery and modern ceramics, as well as colourful cotton and linen, lace and embroidery.
-
Cretan textile weaving.
-
The best of a clutch of traditional knifemakers on the street.
-
Wonderful stock of old Cretan rugs, blankets and kilims.
-
Nikos Voskakis hand-carves olive wood platters, bowls, dishes, candle sticks and cutlery.
-
The ancient art of handloom weaving.
