at night are overcrowded
by young people, the characteristic “ ’a piscaria” the
fish market and “ ‘ a fera ‘o luni” the Monday
fair, so called because, in the past, it was opened only on Mondays,
on the contrary now it is opened every day except on Sundays. At “ ‘a
fera ‘o luni” you can relive the old times of buying
goods by haggling in the midst of the sellers’ shouting. Besides
