A sea of crafts
Hippie Fair
Why locals love it

Why you should visit it
It used to be hippie, but not anymore. Despite of its name, the crafts sold at this open air market have not much to do with the 60’s hairy guys. But you’ll find almost every type of hand made goods: souvenirs, toys, furniture, clothes, shoes, sandals, imitation jewelry, paintings... phew! And street food too (yum)! It’s a MUST DO in BH City!
Special tip
Be careful with your belongings! Although policing has increased at the fair area, preventing is the best thing to do.
