"Amina Craft Market If you’re tired of the same old souvenir T-shirts, you’ll want to visit the Amina Craft Market. Perfectly positioned to attract cruise ship passengers coming ashore at Port Zante in Basseterre, the market features pastel-pink stalls hung with batik fabrics and clothing as well as locally made pottery, bags, jewelry, and keepsakes. Friendly vendors—some of whom are the artists themselves—won’t hit you with a hard sell, but it never hurts to ask if there’s any flexibility on pricing (sometimes there is, sometimes there isn’t). The port complex also has duty-free shops, restaurants, bars, a casino, and—if you must—stores selling St. Kitts-, tropical-, and reggae-themed T-shirts."
