Markets in Apia

Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Samoa

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knows about nice markets in Apia (where and when)?

Cheers!

There are 3 markets in Apia.
The "New Market" in Fugalei, where food is sold and some souvenirs as well. Open 24/7 throughout the year but many stalls are closed at night.
The "Flea Market" in Savalalo, where souvenirs and clothes are sold, open Monday to Friday 9.00 am to 4.30 pm, Saturday to 12.00 pm.
The "Fish Market", at the Savalalo Waterfront, open every day - but usually all sold out after 10.00 am.
All worth a visit. Oh, and bargaining is not welcomed. You might get a discount but it is not common at all to ask for it.

that's exactly what I was after - you're a star, thanks!

Oh, and thanks about the note re: bargaining!
