Located a minute from Agora Modiano, Thessaloniki’s Kapani Market comprises multiple pedestrian streets like Vlali, Menexe, Chalkeon, Spandoni, Askipou, and other smaller gullies encased by the main streets of Egnatia, Ermou, and Aristotelous. Garments, accessories, household items, fresh meat, vegetables and other food products are available. It is one of the places to find hand-picked Mediterranean olives from Halkidiki, Volos, and Thassos, and special pelagic fish not available in most places. There are cafes and taverns as well.
The name ‘Kapani’ comes from the Turkish phrase Un-Kapan, meaning flour market, from which one can assume its purpose back in the day. The location holds historical significance as well, being the site where five elderly Christian rebels were hanged by the Ottomans during the uprising of 1821.
