Look out for the stalls run by older women selling home-grown or homemade items, these are usually the most authentic and best quality
Go early in the morning (around 8–10am) for the best selection and fewer crowds. Expect tourist markups at some stalls, especially when cruise passengers are around
Most vendors do not accept cards, so bring cash with you
The market has operated in some form for centuries, serving as a vital hub for farmers and fishermen from nearby villages in the Bay of Kotor. Some families have been selling their products here for generations.
