Fodor's Expert Review Pantelis Melissinos

Pantelis follows in the steps of his father, Stavros, aka "the poet sandalmaker," a legendary cultural figure in his own right, gentle soul, and longtime fixture of the Monastiraki scene, as well as artist shoemaker, whose shop was once visited by the Beatles, Elizabeth Taylor, Maria Callas, and Jackie O. Pantelis also writes poetry, but his main claim to fame remains the handmade sandals that continue to delight countless tourists and celebrities.
