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.

An art gallery in the heart of Plaka. We offer a great variety of oil paintings by local artists. You can find the sun the sea the Greek islands and all the beauty of our country through the eyes of our artists on Canvas.
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!

Pandora Art Gallery operates since 1975, in the old town of Plaka under the shadow of the Athens Acropolis, serving International clients who travel to Greece for tourism or business from across the globe. All Art items as Paintings, sculptures and ceramics are well crated in wooden boxes, certified by the National Gallery of Greece, insured and delivered door to door via UPS.
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!

Original paintings, unique sculptures, hand made of bronze, aluminum, silver and crystal by famous greek artists.
Intrigued by my sister who was so excited to aquire a beautiful work of art by the world-renowned sculptor Apostol, I had this visit on my agenda. An "open door" gallery full of unique eye-catching centrepieces, sculptures and paintings, all with a meaning to them and Apostol more than willing to tell it. He creates for everyone so you will find just the right piece! Did I mention that my sister's was delivered to her address in Belgium? Art lovers and collectors, you cannot miss this!!
