Modiano Market

Modiano Market, Thessaloniki's largest indoor market, was designed by architect Eli Modiano and opened in 1930. Located next to Aristotelous Square, it features a Parisian-style glass roof and houses shops selling produce, cheese, meat, and fish, as well as traditional and modern tavernas, restaurants, and bars. There are approximately 75 shops in the new floor plan, with restaurants and cafes in the northern and southern parts. It can be accessed via Vasileos Heraklion and Ermou Streets.

The market draws its name from its architect Eli Modiano, a well-known Sephardic Jewish family member who owned the plot. It is currently owned by The Fais Group, Greece’s largest retail company. After a hiatus of six years, the market finally reopened in December 2022 and is awaiting a grand opening at the beginning of next year. The newly designed Agora Modiano preserves the market's legacy and makes way for organic and fair trade products.
