AGreek farmers’ market, specifically the one in central Athens’ Exarchia area, has been recognized among the best food markets in the world by the Financial Times. The publication featured it in an extensive article about where to find “wonderful local products.”
The article describes the Exarchia Farmers’ Market, held every Saturday, in the historic anarchist neighborhood of Exarchia. It stretches along Kallidromiou Street, beneath graffiti-covered steps.
Musicians play traditional Greek tunes as vendors call out to showcase their goods, which include olive oil, honey, fresh fish, herbs, and a variety of vegetables.
Despite the gentrification of Exarchia in recent decades and tensions following the construction of a new metro station nearby, the market remains a neighborhood staple. It is a place where students, anarchists, artists, academics, and tourists mingle.
Leading the Financial Times list is the Mercado de San Miguel near Plaza Mayor in Madrid. With over 30 stalls, it offers an array of products, including Galicia’s renowned fresh fish and seafood, olives, cheeses, meats, and top-notch tapas.
Next is Palermo’s Mercato del Capo. Established during Arab rule in Sicily, it is still one of the city’s most multicultural corners.
The list also highlights two famous farmers’ markets in France. Les Halles de Dijon, inspired by the designs of Gustave Eiffel, one of the city’s most celebrated figures; and Les Halles de Lyon Paul Bocuse in Lyon, one of the largest markets in this famous gastronomic city.
The market first opened in 1859 and it spans three floors, covering more than 13,500 square meters, and features 54 stalls and restaurants.
In London, Chapel Market is described as a place where one can witness “the last glimpses of a mixed London community” while finding quality vegetables.
The Central Market in Valencia also has a place on FT’s list. This farmers’ market in Spain is one of the largest food markets in Europe boasting over 1,200 stalls, selling everything from fresh fruits, meat, and cheese to live eels.
