The first things you'll notice about this cozy shop are the hard wood floors and friendly cats, typically snoring in front of the floor heater inside during the cooler months. Then you're sure to be greeted by Savvas Zoidis, the owner of the shop. As you enter you'll notice the beautiful traditional Greek dresses and scarves. These elegant pieces are handmade by his wife, Demeter. This shop is a stand out because it carries the best quality in bronzed Cycladic masks, Spartan helmets, and ancient statue copies in Plaka. You will also find beautiful round hand painted ceramic boxes with classic Greek designs by artist, "Liana" and beautiful icons made by renowned artist Pavlos Evangelopoulos. Towards the windows, you'll see unique pieces of silver and gold jewelry and along the back of the shop, you'll discover intricate antique metal belts from ancient Greek folk costumes. It's a lovely store with definitely a different feeling than the rest. Prices are very reasonable and the atmosphere is always welcoming and relaxing while you shop.
