What it's like
Kapani and Modiano are covered food markets in the city center of Thessaloniki, close to Athonos Square and the old streets around it. They are working markets, where visitors can see the food culture of the city up close.
A visit usually means a walk with a food guide through both markets. Stops include a traditional bougatsa pie in a historic workshop and a coffee at Kapani, with local craftsmen working nearby. The walk ends in the Kapani Market area, so you can keep browsing afterward.
