    Centre of Hellenic Tradition

    Upstairs in this arcade are great examples of traditional ceramics, sculptures, woodcarvings, paintings and folk art from prominent Greek artists. The quaint café- ouzerie has Acropolis views, and there’s an art gallery upstairs.

    Greece is for Lovers

    This is a tiny showroom where young designers play on the kitsch, from Corinthian column dumb-bells, crocheted iPod covers and Aphrodite bust candles. Look for the giant Grecian sandal skateboard in the window.
