Bookshop - 2



We popped into Papasotiriou bookshop on Panepistimiou Street  having read that it is featured in 'Bookshops: long established and the most fashionable ones', by Hatttstein and Braun.




Designed by Manolis Kolokythas, it spans 3 floors and is 869 sq. metres.




A huge mural by the tills is a reminder of Greece's ancient past




a closer look




black marble and stark metal give it a stylish look




severe elegance




endless shelves and rows of books




wooden floors and leather armchairs




where you can read a book and have a view




of the University




leather sofas




an environment that celebrates books




a temple to reading





any wall space that is not covered with books has something else interesting to look at




A real delight.
