The market
Many villages and cities would have envied the verve of this debonair
square of St. Demetrios. Here, sort of the heart and remote edge of
Europe, everything is engaged in. Buses leaving for Kalamata or Athens,
banks, shops, the postoffice, cafes, patisseries, taxis, local fish is
sold as well vegetables.
The Lilliputian road, which seems as though it's hiding at the left end
of the square, leads to Omali and the port. Another road to the left,
Kalentzi Street, plays a significant role with regard to the vigourness
of and the struggle for living.
