Top 10 Shopping in Plaka, Attica

May 11, 2022 Giuseppe Pratt

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.

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 ⭐️

Huge selection of canvas paintings at various prices. They have some great works by "student" painters at very reasonable prices and the paintings by professionals in the hundreds range. I found a picture that was done by a student for 45 Euro, I love it! The gentleman working there rolled it up in a sturdy tube and I was able to take it easily on the plane home with me. Had it framed right away and it looks great in my entry! Highly recommend if you want a souvenir you can actually use when you get home, check them out!

I was in search of a specific 14K gold bracelet to match a Greek necklace that I had purchased at a different store. The young gentleman that helped me ran to their other store and then to their workshop in 90+ degree heat to hunt down the bracelet I wanted. What store will do that for you??? None in the States, that's for certain. I highly recommend this beautiful store! Extremely Satisfied Customer

Abundant choice of exquisite rugs, tapestries, pillow cases, and throws from Greece . Meet your magic...

Reviewed By M4863SEandreaw

I went to Athens with my 11 year old son and mother and we stumbled into this rug shop. We were greeted with so much kindness as well as wine and orange juice. It was one of the highlights of our trip. Vahan was so kind and knowledge. His passion for his shop is obvious. He pulled out rugs and blankets for us and we ended up buying several rugs and blankets that were shipped home to the US. We told him about colors or themes and he pulled out the most amazing patterns and styles. He inventory is endless!! The rugs and blankets are stunning and it was wonderful to hear about the families who made the rugs, the origin and history. Absolutely amazing. We also have kept in touch and are buying more rugs remotely. They respond so quickly and have sent photos and ideas. It is absolutely amazing. I will not buy rugs anywhere else again! I can’t get wait to get back to Athens and visit again. Even my 11 year old says this was a highlight of the trip. He sleeps with his Neptune blanket and can’t wait to get back to Greece. Thank you Loom family!

Olympico Jewelery

Reviewed By Y5604DRkarenf

My husband and I wandered in to Olympico jewelry store on November 12. We were looking for gifts for our daughters, and maybe something for me. We were originally taken care of by a very nice young woman, and then George came over to assist. We were offered beverages and they could not have been nicer. Ultimately, a beautiful Byzantine gold necklace was found for me, and George worked with us on the price so that pairs of Byzantine gold earrings were also included for both of our daughters, as well as silver earrings for all the secretaries at my office. We felt we were treated fairly, and there was no pressure.

Absolutely loved the place. As soon as walked in overwhelmed by the paintings on display. Unfortunately, one cannot take photographs in the gallery. Great art work by artists. I could have sat there all day spellbound by some of the artwork. A must see when visiting the area even if one can only dream of buying as prices are quite high!
