Three new jewelry bookstores opened their doors in Athens
It is certainly fortunate that the book never dies, despite the Cassandres that emerged years ago that it will be understood by the digital world.
The book, its agra, its reading, its placement in our house is a whole ritual. In Athens we have the fortune of excellent bookstores, especially in the center of Athens.
In neighborhoods, readers usually find shelter in a bookstore, but that too tends to change.
Three new arrivals are coming to town and offering us. These three bookstores opened their doors very recently and have already become hangouts for viewers.
The Bookmark in Kallithea is very popular with readers
The theologian Kyrillos and his good friend and best man Stefi rented a semi-basement on Andromachis Street, which remained empty and unused for 13 years. They filled it with love and selected versions. Also, with two armchairs for those moments when a visitor wants to browse a book or relax a bit in a spiritual, warm environment.
It is not a bookstore and certainly does not have stationery, photocopies and school supplies. In “Bookmark”, with shelves made of white pine wood, hospitality and warmth is a serious matter for their owners.
They take the customer-reader very seriously and prove it: next to the box office are the suggestions of the readers! Anyone who visits the “Bookmark” will enjoy excellent service, smile and amazing prices.
All titles have a 10% discount and some reach up to 40%!
Fata Libelli in Piraeus has an opinion and style
“Pro captu lectoris habent sua fata libelli”, in Hellenistic “according to the possibilities of the reader, books have their fate”. The phrase of the grammarian and scholar Terentianus Maurus from 1286 inspired Spyros Valtetsiotis (conservator of works of art!) For the name of his bookstore.
He has been active in the field of books since 1996, having passed through two publishers and many bookstores, the last being the Pankrati Lexicon.
In the elegant space of the friend, but rich in content and aesthetics Fata Libelli, everyone finds the book that suits him. Options for young, old, sought after and novice readers.
Piraeus librarians have already embraced, but flock from all over Athens, to enjoy a special shopping experience for themselves or for the country to a loved one.
S22 in Neapoli Exarcheion hosts books and events
Named after Smolensky Street and the number in which it is located, this modern air-conditioned space opened in the hot summer of 2021 and has already become a favorite hangout for book lovers, students and artists.
High-ceilinged shop, mosaic and a courtyard with Greek centers set an alternative scene for the philosophy of titles of Nefeli publications and more.
The important Nefeli editions close forty-two years and the opening of S22 was the ideal one to celebrate.
The multifaceted libraries in the center of the space can be easily moved and events for young and old are allowed. The book at Σ22 it is not treated as something intellectual and sterile, but as a kind of basic necessity that stars in our daily lives in an interactive and constantly interesting way.
