Lonely Planet review for Athenian Candle Co

Whether you’re hoping to get lucky at bingo, remove a jinx or fall in love, this store promises to help with its array of candles, incense, love potions and miracle oils. Though they’ve been making candles for the city’s Orthodox churches on-site since 1919, the owners aren’t devoted to one religion: you’ll find Buddha statues, Pope holograms, Turkish evil-eye stones, tarot cards and door mezuzahs (parchment inscribed with Hebrew verses from the Torah). Unlike other stores of the ilk, which can be creepy, Athenian is tidy and the staff amiable.
