Kapani market in Thessaloniki is a green market where you can enjoy in shopping local goods, vegetables and meat from Greece. Although I expected bigger market, with lot more green stuff, fruits and vegetables (have seen only 2 stands) this can be explored in a half hour. It's not full of people, we visited twice, Friday and more busy Saturday. One kilogram if olives starts from 3€/kg, up to 7-8€/kg, big can of 5 liter of extra virgine olive oil from Creta you can purchase for 22€. Lot of good and cheap meat, sausages, fishes, big squids, cheese, nuts, almonds, various spices, teas, but also stuff like souvenirs, clothes, stuff from China, It's all here. Sellers are not loud like in Italy, but you will enjoy local atmosphere. There is a coffee place where you can have cheap coffee, too.

Το Καπάνι ή Αγορά Βλάλη είναι παραδοσιακή αγορά στη Θεσσαλονίκη. Βρισκεται στο κέντρο της πόλης και αποτελείται από πεζοδρόμους (οδοί Μενεξέ, Βλάλη, Σολωμού, Ασκηπού, Χαλκέων, Κυδωνιάτη, Σπανδώνη, και άλλοι μικρότεροι) που περικλείονται από τις οδούς Εγνατία, Αριστοτέλους, Ερμού και Βενιζέλου. Σε πολύ μικρή απόσταση από αυτήν βρίσκονται και οι άλλες παραδοσιακές αγορές του κέντρου, το Μοδιάνο, η Πλατεία Άθωνος και τοΜπεζεστένι. Τα κτήρια της αγοράς είναι δυόροφα, ενώ κάποιοι από τους πεζοδρόμους είναι σκεπαστοί. Το όνομα "Καπάνι" προέρχεται από την Τούρκικη φράση Ουν-Καπάν, που σημαίνει αγορά αλεύρων (αλευροπάζαρο). Στο κέντρο της αγοράς, οι Τούρκοι κρέμασαν κατά την Επανάσταση του 1821 τους πρόκριτους Χρίστο Μενεξέ, Χριστόδουλο Μπαλάνο, Αναστάσιο Κυδωνιάτη, το νεομάρτυρα Αργυρό από την Επανομή κ.α. Εξαιρετικό ενδιαφέρον για κάθε πολύπλευρη τουριστική περιήγηση και μία ευκαιρία για βαθύτερη κατανόηση της Θεσσαλονίκης τω περασμένων δεκαετιών αποτελεί η επίσκεψη στις στοές Μόδιάνο και Καπάνι. Εδώ θα έλεγε κανείς ότι ο χρόνος σταμάτησε και η παράδοση συνεχίζει να είναι βίωμα των σύγχρονων εμπόρων αλλά και πελατών. Το ιδιαίτερο ύφος και διάφορες παρωχημένες τακτικές αγοραπωλησίας όπως το παζάρι, εδώ συνεχίζουν να υπάρχουν και δομούν τον ιδιαίτερο κώδικα της περιοχής. Θεωρείται η κεντρικότερη αγορά της πόλης που συνδυάζει την αφθονία τη φθήνια και την ποικιλία. Βέβαια για αυτούς που δεν στέκονται στην καταναλωτική τους πλευρά, οι συγκεκριμένες στοές στις μέρες μας φιλοξενούν μερικά από τα πιο συμπαθητικά καφενεδάκια και μεζεδοπωλεία του ιστορικού κέντρου της πόλης. Μπορείτε λοιπόν να τα επισκεφτείτε οποιαδήποτε ώρα της ημέρας και σίγουρα δε θα το μετανιώσετε. Στην αγορά πωλούνται τρόφιμα, μπαχαρικά, είδη οικιακής χρήσης, ενδύματα κ.ά.

Kapani is a tipical balkanic market, similar to the Turkish and Arabic bazaars, filled with a lot of small shops with almost anything you can imagine: meat, fish, seafood, clothes, bags, shoes, souvenirs, coffee shops, tavernas, and so on. The prices for non-food items are not so cheap as you'll espect, you'll find a lot of Made in China products, most of them fakes. But is nice to visit it, especially if you came from a Western country, is an excellent experience! :)

This is a must in Thessaloniki. It's a very authentic market where locals buy produce, fish, seafood, and meat. The sights and smells are something you don't see everywhere in Europe, so it's quite an experience. The smell is overwhelming, with hints of fresh and raw seafood, meat, and other interesting products. I bought olives and I was not disappointed. There are some food joints where you can sit and have a more local experience.

As a tourist, I can say that this was a very authentic experience (not used to open markets like this in my country). Everything looked very nice and fresh though. A lot of meat and fish that smelled nice and looked tasty. Also a lot of other stuff and mostly olive oil and olives (quality that you can find only in places where they grow olives). Recommend visiting, you might find something you like.

This market was much smaller than I was expecting. The stalls had closed by the time we reach there,3:00 and the great thing was that there was some great restaurant around, which gave this a great feel and ambiance of a country inn. BUT! You want to buy Greek preserves, like olives and the likes, then sell they were still on and we bought a basket of lovely olives
