Stopped in for lunch and a walk around the town center in between wineries. Was impressed by the Piazza, its subtle wine flare, the butcher, and the shops to taste wine and grab a quick nibble. :) The people were friendly, and it didn't have a commercialized feel to it. Yes, there were tourist products, i.e. postcards, shirts, sweaters, etc,... More

I visited Greve in Chianti in a day tour. Piazza Matteotti is a large square in the middle of the city, with small souvenir shops. There you can buy also local products as wine or olive oil.

Nice square, with typical tourist souvenir shops. Sunday was market day and the whole square was crammed with traveling vans with shoes, clothing. Nice atmosphere. We ate in two restaurants on the square, neither remarkable in either service or food. It's a pleasant little town, one of the larger in the Chianti region

Whenever I have reason to be in Greve (at least once a month), I always take time to do a circuit of this charming piazza. Interesting shops and a good bar for a pastry and espresso (Bar Lepanto).

The shops around this piazza were fun to browse. We enjoyed a gelato after walking 2km up to Montefioralle. There is a fountain to fill up your water bottle along the way.

The Greve Piazza used to be the market center of Chianti, where the castles would come down to trade their goods since the castles did not have large enough clearings to have a proper market. The market has many tourist type shops, and there are some more authentic places a block off the main road. Key highlights are a bakery... More
