lost in the bazaar (Piraeus)

Nowadays, things are pretty rough, your job is not that safe, cash flow is a term that begins to sound like a big joke and on top of that you have to deal with your angry boss and your permanent friends that never forget you each month.....bills.
Rings a bell?
Everyone though has the need to get something every now and then, even the most minor thing, to feel better and maybe a bit refreshed...are you feeling me? 

As it seems bazaars lately have become a trend, most of your friends might deny (in a Donatella Versace way) that are actually buying from there but it if you go, there is a large possibility that you will probably meet someone you know and possibly that someone will try hide or say a lame excuse....you know what i mean yes?
The Piraeus Bazaar is well known and it used to be larger but all these reforms managed to shrink it. Still there are many things to see, bargain and why not buy. Just grab a coffee early in the morning and get off to the Piraeus train station.If you will go late (in this case ''late'' is 11.00 am) you will probably have to battle through the crowd, your coffee will become a nuclear bomb destined to change someone's jacket and you will probably see 30% of the whole things because your feet will cry for your home slippers. 

After getting off at the Piraeus train station you will have to find Retsina street which is behind the train station and walk through until its end, it is about 70-80 meters.You will then see the Bazaar just in front of you. Dive in and see what you can find. One thing is for sure, it doesn't get cheaper than that.You can find just about everything clothes, underwear, socks all sort of tools, hand bags, candles, jackets, carpets, pets even antiques. If you are searching for a kind of acceptable quality at a very small price then that's the place.  

You can get t-shirts for 5 or 6 euro, shoes for 10 or 20 euro, tools (screwdrivers, hammers for 1 euro) all sorts of knock off sweaters for 10 euro, jeans are about 5 to 10 euro, women's underwear 1 euro and bras for 2 to 3 euro.
You probably know how bazaars are so if i were you i wouldn't buy mobile phones or laptops from there. It would be wise not to exchange any currency or get into things that you would regret and cry for 2 weeks.
Keep in mind that the Piraeus bazaar takes place ONLY on Sundays.
Friendly advice...see-evaluate-buy.
