Open-air fruit and vegetable markets in Athens will be open for business as usual on Clean Monday, a public holiday marking the start of Lent, the capital’s street markets’ federation has announced.
Clean Monday signals the beginning of the 40-day fasting period leading up to Easter.
Market vendors are ready to serve consumers, maintaining the key values that set street food and vegetable markets apart, “quality, freshness, variety, and affordability,” the federation noted. [AMNA]
