Things to do in Athens, Attica: The Best Gift & Specialty Shops

March 18, 2022 Weston Hennigan

Once known for smog, traffic and tacky architecture, Athens is a city reformed thanks to fortunes brought by the 2004 Summer Olympics. Spotless parks and streets, an ultra-modern subway, new freeways, an accessible airport and all signs in perfect English make the city easily negotiable. Meriting more than a stopover en route to the islands, sophisticated Athens sites include many pillars of Western history, from the Acropolis to the Temple of Olympian Zeus, as well as treasures in the National Archaeological Museum.

Greek Roots

The art jewellery creation adventure begun on 1975 when Vasilis and Marianna Nikolaidis established their own jewellery workshop businesses creating hand made jewelry, exploiting their previously acquired working experience, with a great emphasis on detail. Continuing to create and produce jewelry both Vasilis and Marianna decided in 1981 to open their first retail shop in the area of Acropolis, named Greek Roots. They were specialized in creating and selling silver and gold items with precious and semi precious stones, inspired by the Greek heritage based on ancient and traditional Greek motives. George, the son of Vasilis and Mariannas, continues family’s jewelry tradition having as a vision to provide state of the art jewelry with an affordable price, unique quality and a wide range of designs.
