If
you don't know it yet, Sifnos is one of the less discovered gems
of the Cyclades and
now I will give you one more reason to make a point to stop there;
Ble, a quaint jewelry shop, owned by Nikos and Spyros Karalis, sits
modestly along the main pedestrian walkway(where cars and motorcycles
may pass...so be careful) in Apollonia. Inside, the quiet jewelry
shop is painted a calm shade of blue and gently welcomes a tired
traveler. The pieces you'll find are feminine and interesting, not
to mention all original designs handmade by both Spiros and his
wife, Haroula.
They moved from Athens to Sifnos and have successfully created and
sold their works on the island for 20 years. You will also find
decorative objects and interesting ceramic pieces for sale which
are handmade by Spiro's brother, Nikos. They are very well known
for their works and continue to attract the discriminating shopper.
If you are looking for more than a common design or Greek Key charm,
this shop will have something especially for you!
