Greek term

μαγαζιά – παραπήγματα

Greek to English Other Tourism & Travel architecture
Προσεγγίζουμε την πλατεία από την Οδό Ερμού. Ένα στενό άνοιγμα στα αριστερά μάς οδηγεί σε ένα χώρο ...προσοχή μας έχει ήδη αποσπαστεί από τα παλιά έπιπλα και τα αραδιασμένα μικροαντικείμενα. Περιφερόμαστε σχεδόν άσκοπα, ανάμεσα σε μαγαζιά – παραπήγματα, μικροπράγματα, σκουπιδοτενεκέδες, σταθμευμένα αυτοκίνητα, έπιπλα και τραπεζάκια έξω, που μας φαίνονται όλα ατάκτως εριμμένα...»

is there a single word for this? Any ideas? If you are still awake that is...

Apologies for not making myself clear. The text I�m working on is written by an architect dealing with open space appropriation and private or/and public functions. � �������-����������� are public, in the sense of agora, and private property. At this point I was looking for a somewhat neutral term as of a structure but on second thought I don�t think it really matters since the word appears in a piece of text taken from a diary. Thanks for your help guys!

Pleasure. Not sure why you're trying to avoid "stalls" (as a single word), but glad "market stalls" fits. There's also "market stands", or even something along the lines of "vending stalls".

Thanks Elena. "stalls" (as a single word) is what I'm trying to avoid here. I'm looking for a word that signifies "������� � �����������" as a building-structure. "market stalls" is ok I think

... και με αυτό το κείμενο και με \"stalls\" μόνο του, μια και ζητάς μια μόνο λέξη, νομίζω ότι το νόημα θα είναι το ίδιο.

Stalls, usually no more than a makeshift table with a hand-written price list, have opened for business close to Camden Lock. Some are understood to be breaking trading standards rules.
