Greengrocer's shop in a boat

You'll find Aegina's most charming grocery shopping experience right in the harbor, where two colorful wooden caiques serve as floating fruit and vegetable markets docked at the waterfront. These traditional boats offer fresh, seasonal produce sold directly from their decks by local farmers who grow their crops in the fertile areas of Marathonas and Perivola. It's a uniquely Greek way to shop for groceries, combining the island's maritime culture with its agricultural traditions in one picturesque floating market.
