Anna's Heart

Lasithi Province


Only clothing, jewellery, bags, hats and other accessories crafted by Greek designers will make it into Anna's carefully edited and sophisticated boutique, which wouldn't be out of place in Athens. Look for cork bags, wooden sunglasses or fashion by Ioanna Kourbela.
