This is one way to do your shopping in style - on horseback. It still isn't too much of a surprise to come actross horses, donkeys and mules in the villages and farmlands of Greece, although most Greeks have long-since traded in their pack animals for motorbikes (such as the trusty "papaki", see gallery page 45) and pickup trucks.
This horse even wears a traditional wooden saddle, and its halter is decorated with seashells and worry beads (see photos below). The sackcloth saddlebags are also olde worlde, and very environmentally friendly.
