3 Best Shopping in Athens, Greece

Whether you'd like to buy a few Greek delights to taste during your stay in Greece or a selection of handpicked, organic herbal tea, extra virgin olive oil, essential oils made with endemic wild flowers, or cheese to take home with you for a taste of Greece, this deli store (just behind the Acropolis Museum) has it all. The owner travels far and wide around the country to find the best, most authentic products made by small producers.

One of the neighborhood’s most original stores is a design shop run by artist Krina Vronti, from whom you can buy original printed T-shirts, home decor items, and cloth bags—all handmade, with traditional Greek themes, sometimes with a quirkily droll take on the area's classic, kitschy tourist shops.
