Back to newsThe regional authorities of Crete have published the final list of approved vendor licenses for the island's open-air street markets, known as laikes agores. These weekly markets are held in towns and villages across Crete, offering fresh local produce, herbs, olives, cheese, honey, and handmade goods directly from local farmers and producers. The license approval process determines which vendors are authorized to operate at official market sites. For tourists, these markets are among the best places to experience everyday Cretan life and purchase authentic local products at reasonable prices. Markets typically run on set days in each area, such as weekly in Heraklion, Chania, Rethymno, and Agios Nikolaos. Check with your accommodation or the local municipality for the nearest market day and location.
