Greek Souvenirs Hunt
![](https://greeceinsiders.travel/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/The-Art-of-Turtle-Feature.jpg)
There was a time when “I Love Athens” and the little ‘tsolia’ were the core business of Greek souvenirs. However. today the consumers (not only tourists) require something different, and the Greek market does not disappoint.
New Greek souvenirs began to come as a response to the crisis. Many young creators, looking for a professional way out, reached the point of awareness and dedicated all their imagination, and creativity, to the rebirth and development of souvenirs.
Greek-inspired brands and collections began to spring up one after the other, confirming that the Greek reality can offer its special proposal and open the door to a new era!
And while souvlaki and ‘tsarouhi’ began to acquire a modern dimension, to become fashionable, and to find new minimalist applications, the Greek public also began to turn its consumer interest to these objects.
This is what made Greeks become tourists in their city. Take a walk in Plaka and around the Acropolis and discover all those shops that are an attraction, not only for foreign tourists but also for Greeks.
On your walk enter the stores below and you’ll have the answer to the question ‘Where can I find the new Greek souvenirs?’

In the first house that Theodoros Kolokotronis stayed in Athens, at 100 Adrianou Street in Plaka, Forget Me Νωτ opened in March 2014, to create another type of ‘revolution’ in the field of Greek design.
The store was a ‘revolutionary’ entry into tourist shopping, marking the beginning of a new era. In the two areas of the store, the petrol, and the white room, one can find the best samples of modern Greek design, as they collaborate and host works by renowned, but also promising young Greek designers who with their objects shape the current Greek artistic identity. Through constant search, new designers, new products, and brands are added to the store every day, with exclusives, items in a limited edition or collectibles. This is their way of collecting seemingly unrelated products. What they have in common are authenticity and quality.

Mr. Vlassopoulos has been involved in tourism for several years, maintaining one of the well-known restaurants in the center. His experience and constant contact with inbound tourism led him to decide on the next step. Thus, he wanted to create a space to show the public that Greece is not only an old-fashioned tourist product. Greece is an army of young bold and inspired creators who have a lot to offer. For this reason, “Diatavta” started its operation just a few months ago and the mix of products it offers is based on three different pillars: Food products such as honey, oil, traditional drinks, herbal, Greek-made, cosmetics, and finally, new souvenirs and fashion products.
You can visit the elegant tiny store and see for yourself that it is a different one-stop shopping destination, in the heart of the center, which manages to highlight the new Greece in its few square meters.

All Katerina wanted to do was to make jewelry. Looking to find a space that combines a workshop and a retail space, she found this beautiful road under the shade of the Sacred Rock.
Moreover, her shop reflects the essence of a unique aesthetic identity. Nature, wood, and metal meet in it. In her shop, you will discover the jewelry that she designs and manufactures. Furthermore, you will find a series of elegant pots and plants which essentially complete her collection.
Finally, the theme of her jewelry has as a point of reference the five elements of nature. Ether – the turtle, water – seahorse, fire – salamander, air – a hummingbird, and earth – elephant.
