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!

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????

I had been in this most enchanting store, a few years back. I followed this page, because the memory of what felt like Aladdin’s cove haunted me, in a very positive way. I had seen a posted picture of an item, that caught my eye, and placed a call, with my questions. Steve was very patient and accommodating. When you are buying a luxury item, you have questions. I couldn’t have felt more appreciated. I know they were busy, too. When I received the pendant, it was much more beautiful, in person! So unique! In today’s world, “hand crafted” is a rarity. Absolutely amazing craftsmanship! Steve gives amazing attention to detail and you know you are truly wearing a work of art. I even appreciate the flawless door to door service, I received! If you can visit this magnificent store, I highly recommend!! There is no store like it. If you can’t visit, I reassure you, that your online order will give you great joy! 5 Stars ⭐️

Must do on your way to Balos Beach! If you want to take home s.th. special, not the standard souvenir! Beautiful show room with unique things made of local natural elements. The most impressive are Mike's olive bonsais! Also ask for their organic olive oil. if you are lucky, they have some left to sell you.
