Was in Apia for a couple weeks on business. Wanted to take gifts home and was advised by my handlers to give the market a look. Situated right down town across from one of the restaurants we had tried the Bistro. The Market is a maze of little shops and vendors, I made the effort to go into the interior... More

Excellent vareity of handmade crafts direct from the maker - well priced

My partner and I literally just got back from our 9 day stay in Samoa. We visited the markets while we were there and were surprised at how affordable all the goods were!! We both managed to buy souveniers for all our friends. Some fans, a lavalava, a few pairs of earrings and a wooden axe all for well under... More

The fresh fruit/veg looks teriffic, with all the traders sprawled out toward the front of the market. I got a fresh coconut drink for 2 tala and it was too much for me to finish. Watch the old chaps enthusiasticly queueing up to play draughts down the left hand side. There is something quite odd about the souvineer stalls though.... More

We were there in mid-January. There was a lot to buy from wooden bowls, t-shirts, and lots of tourist items. I bought some beautiful pearls with earings and bracelet for less than $50 Canadian. They have a large food court but the sanitation is pretty bad compared to North American standards. There didn't seem to be running water in the... More
