Shopping - For fashion, Proxenou Koromila, Mitropoleos and Tsimiski. You won't find many bargains, but the shopping area is conveniently small and full of cafes when you get too tired. For cheaper clothing, check out Egnatia street. For food specialities, go to Modiano market and try the Terpsis and Omega delicatessens (the most famous is Kosmas, but it specialises in Asian food). An interesting new shop in Thessaloniki is the artistic bookstore Bustart. Located in the center of the city (Grigoriou Palama 21), this culture oasis offers to Thessaloniki residents and visitors a wide variety of books and CDs all sharing a main theme: art, ranging from classic painters to photography, fashion and web design.
