The shops... You can find those things anywhere in Chios. It's just so local and traditional.
What to buy: Vases with teaspoon sweets. That's how we call it. Actually, a fruit is baked with sugar and varius bachars (like cinammon and vanilla). You can buy the vase of fruit you like but there are also coctail vases. The most common teaspoon sweets are cherry, mandarine and figues.
What to pay: It depends the shop. If you buy it from a tourist shop you'll pay about E6.00. If you buy it from the super market it costs E3.50.
