Artisan Markets in Pantaleria

About this experience

What to expect

• Stalls are arranged by category, with textiles near the fountain and food vendors along the north side of the piazza
• Visitors can watch a local basket weaver demonstrate the 'u sciappu' technique using dwarf palm leaves, a craft unique to Pantelleria
• Each stall displays a small card with the artisan's name and village, allowing you to identify producers from Khamma or Rekhale
• Sampling is offered at the olive oil and caper stalls, with jars of salted capers sold in 200-gram portions for about 8 euros
• The market runs for 5 hours, and most vendors pack up by 12:30, so arrive before 10:00 for the full selection
• Suitable for independent travellers and small groups; the piazza is flat and accessible, with a public toilet at the adjacent church courtyard
