Atlantis Books

Reviewed By pitsbrgher - Jacksonville, United States

I frequent bookstores when I travel, and this unique venue did not disappoint! Descending the curved, carved staircase, you are greeted with a hobbit-hole type door, and the store opens up behind it. Strewn with books, and decorated with quotes on the furniture, walls and ceiling, you can find real gems! Books are one of my souvenirs from my travels, and Hemingways favorite book, James Joyce’s The Dead (as it was advertised in this store) was one of my takeaways from this charming stop on Santorini. Take your reading material of choice to the rooftop reading room for a relaxing view of the caldera and natural light to enjoy your read!

Aquamarine Jewelry

Reviewed By hurley_forever - Winnipeg, Canada

The window displays caught my eye, so I came in and wound up buying a beautiful set of rings made by a Greek artist. They had really unique pieces, and the gentleman that helped me was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.

Faros Market

Reviewed By 93julz

If you leave Santorini and haven't had lunch here you really missed out on probably the best greek traditional kitchen. There are only a few courses on the menu which is usually a sign of the quality offered and Faros Market fits this stereotype perfectly. You can feel a connection to what you eat since everything they offer comes from their own garden like tomatoes, capers, olives and the goat cheese as they wander around in viewing distance from the terrasse with a beautiful oceanview. It is close to the lighthouse so if you plan on watching the sunset from there stop by and have a try of their local vine and food - you will not be dissapointed????

Oneiro Jewelry

Reviewed By KristinaDFB - Los Angeles, United States

Like most people, we meandered in to this shop. Lured in by the beautiful, shiny things, once I stepped in and got a closer look at what they had to offer I was hooked. Not only did they have high end items, there were beautiful, handmade, affordable items as well. I wanted something that would always remind me of Santorini, and I ended up getting TWO different pairs of earrings. I love them and each time I think of them, I think of Santorini, its beautiful scenery, the wonderful people, and the jewelry shop with the wonderful proprietor, George! So helpful, not pushy, and friendly friendly friendly. I recommend this shop to everyone - and I can't wait to go back!

Artistic Village Contemporary Art - Art gallery & Museum of Ceramic Art

The Artistic Village is a family business. The founder and creator of the Artistic Village is Nikolas I. Simiakos. The Artistic Village has been operating since 1984 and we try to highlight various aspects of modern craftsmanship and culture. In the welcoming 600 sq. Metre art gallery you will be able to see innovative art works, ornaments, sculptures, special designs and compositions made from clay, glass, wood, bronze, iron, aluminium and other materials. Any of these pieces would be the perfect choice for a novel gift. Also, in the art gallery/studio, you can see original pictures which will make any space - personal or professional - look its best. The Artistic Village is home to the first museum where visitors can explore the past and learn about the art of ceramics from its beginnings to the present day. Entrance is free. Professionalism, imagination, distinctiveness, uniqueness and our love for the best are our "gold standard" for our long term success. Pay us a visit and discover our collections. The Artistic Village is on the eastern coast of the beautiful island of Rhodes, a few kilometres(20 Km) outside Rhodes town. It is easily reached from anywhere in the town by taking the national road from Rhodes Town to Lindos. Rhodes' "Diagoras" airport is only a 30 minute drive from the village, and Rhodes Town and the harbour are a similar distance away. You will find the Artistic Village between cosmopolitan Afantou and the tourist area of Kolymbia. The ample parking space, and the many outdoor relaxation areas in this beautiful and very pleasant environment, are only some of the facilities on offer to visitors to the Artistic Village.

The family have produced a superb display of three dimensional art, all of which is for sale. The family do not work solely in ceramics, incorporating wire and other material into their art. There is plenty of choice and there are items for sale that will suit all pockets. The family have a number of signature items, of particular note are the olive branches / trees which are wall art, using a combination of ceramic and wire. They are no larger than approx 35cm square and look attractive on any wall. There are also bowls, platters, dishes and many other items. I would be surprised if you leave without buying something.
