Rodos (City) Shopping

I found a lot of the souvenir and shopping selection on Rhodes to be some of the best on Greece. Bargain hard and take home some good souvenirs for your friends. This is a better spot to do shopping than many of the other islands

Sorry I don't know the name of this place ('Kuba' I think it says in my photo), but it's a small shop that sells a lotta liquor at tiny prices. You'll know you're in the right place when an elf girl with a squeaky voice sidles up to you and whispers 'Shut your eyes!' She'll then hand over two bottles of booze to demonstrate how a plastic bottle of 2 litres weighs less than 1 litre in a glass bottle.

Snow White is quite the little charmer. She knows what she stocks, what it costs and which ones come in the magic plastic containers.

What to buy: Not everything comes in travel-friendly plastic containers, but if you ask nicely she may be able to find you some empties and decant it for you at a small surcharge.

I know the liquor store further up the street on Plaza Ippokratous (under the arches) sell empty containers. Unfortunately their alcohol prices are a bit more dear, probably because they are on a busier square and see more tourists to gouge.

What to pay: The prices were a steal at the time of our visit, we paid less than 10 euros for a litre of Archers which in the UK would cost more than twice that. It's all down to the island behind a Duty Free zone.

This is a very delightful product to buy and to eat, in the summer days, on the island of Rhodes.

This is a tradition and a pleasure for the tourist.

Unfortunately, the price of this product is not very favourable.

The ambulant sellers make their commerce on the coast of the sea, or on the streets of the city.
