Atlantis Books

Secondhand in Firostefani, Greece · since 2004

Founded in a cave-house in Oia by friends who fell for the island, Atlantis Books now lives in a brighter home in Firostefani, right on the clifftop path between Fira and Oia. The handwritten shelf notes, reading nooks and mix of new and used books in several languages all made the move.
