We usually try and collect original, locally produced art while on our trips. This is a "true" gallery, folks. Some stores loosely use that name, but this shop is for real. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable, talented and helpful. We wound up collecting two ancient pieces that had been restored by a local artisan and we are so proud of that purchase! If you are in the market for something other than typical souvenir "trinkets", this is your place! Tip; be prepared to "bargain" on the pricing and bring Euros as you will get a much better deal with cash!

Katakolo Port was an afternoon stop-off on a recent cruise holiday. While the majority of people headed off for Olympus we decided to look around the small town as the weather was exceptional. This is possibly the most tranquil place on earth I have ever been to. The sea and sky were clear blue, the buildings tradition blue and white, the people so friendly and the overall atmosphere so relaxing that you could not fail but to enjoy it. There is a wonderful collection of shops selling a variety of goods, all reasonably priced, along with some lovely quay side restaurants. Will be adding this place to my return visit list without a doubt!!!
