travel europe greece crete iraklion the marketplace

A visit to Iraklion's open air market was a real eye opener for a young traveler seeing this area of the world for the first time.
It was one of the first times I saw un-refrigerated meats and poultry hanging out in the open air.
Heat and flies ignored, the crowds were heavy and business was brisk.
