Shopping
October is a great month for bargains as the end of tourist season approaches and shopkeepers are eager to sell their wares. Kiosks selling everything from food and snacks to cigarettes and postcards abound on Crete and many of these are open 24-hours. The best shopping areas are the Kasavetis shopping centre in Hersonissos, the market on 1866 Street in Heraklion, and Chania's covered Market, or Agora on Odos Hatzi Michali Yannari, where local produce such as chestnuts, bread, olives and honey are sold. Popular souvenirs include embroideries, hand carved wooden items, jewellery and leather goods. If travelling within Europe, other good buys include Cretan honey or some delicious local cheeses, which are renowned all over Greece.- Which is the best Greek Island holiday destination (Greece)?
