  • A cavernous warehouse of handicrafts from every corner of the country. If you only have time for one souvenir stop, make this it.

  • Specializing in paintings of ships, this shop sells a variety of handmade crafts including painted trays, wooden taverna signs, worry beads and silver and gold jewellery.

  • The name – which translates as Ilari dairy and pastry shop – is a mouthful, and so are the delicious traditional Greek sweets sold here. The specialities are old-fashioned puddings.

  • This tasteful little shop sells a select choice of gifts, including highly individual, signed and numbered artworks by some of the country’s latest talents.

  • Some of the world’s most glamorous gold creations are still to be found at Ilias Lalounis’ celebrated jewellery house.

  • This little gem of a grocery shop stocks cheeses from all over the country, olive oil, olives, wine, ouzo, herbs and spices, teas, and some organic goods.

  • O Brettos

    Pop in for a bottle of this distillery’s fiery home-made ouzo, and stay to sip a shot of surprisingly sweet mestiha and admire the huge barrels under the eaves (see O Brettos).

  • In Pantelis Mountis’s hole-in-the-wall, you can purchase beautiful hand-painted icons and metal tamata to ward off specific ailments.

  • Handmade worry beads, lucky charms, key rings, beaded bracelets and earrings are sold at this small shop.

  • This shop has plenty of Greece’s famous hairy flokatia rugs, made from woolly mountain sheep.
