About this experience

Artisan Markets in Kanala is a weekly open-air market held in the harbour village of Kanala on the island of Kythnos. The market operates every Saturday morning from 9:00 to 14:00 during the summer season (June through September). It features stalls from 25 local makers selling handmade ceramics, woven textiles, olive wood utensils, and natural soaps.

What to expect

  • Browse 25 stalls of handmade ceramics, woven textiles, olive wood utensils, and natural soaps from Kythnos-based artisans.
  • Watch live demonstrations of pottery throwing and loom weaving by the makers themselves, with finished pieces available for purchase.
  • Sample and buy local produce such as thyme honey, capers, and sun-dried tomatoes, all grown on the island.
  • Expect to spend 1 to 2 hours walking the market, which is set along the waterfront promenade next to the fish tavernas.
  • Suitable for visitors seeking authentic souvenirs; cash is preferred as most stalls do not accept card payments.
  • Arrive before 11:00 to avoid the midday heat and the largest crowds, as the market gets busy with day-trippers from the ferry.
