This bookstore is an absolute gem. Its cozy atmosphere immediately puts you at ease as you explore its vast collection of books. But the magic doesn't stop there! The store boasts an impressive selection of vinyl records and CDs, all at incredibly affordable prices. Topping it off is a delightful café that perfectly complements the overall experience. And if you can't make it in person, their website is a dream come true with lightning-fast shipping.
Avoid there are many better and cheaper bookshops in the center of Athens. The only good thing in this store is the music department but even that could be much better organised.
Love this place. It's near the Panepistimio metro station, has a great variety of book titles to choose from and you can enjoy a hot chocolate in its Cafe found in the first floor.
The Cafe is also a great place to rest and read your favorite book while it regularly hosts events related to culture, books and music.
Just to clarify for those who may read this, I’m posting this review in reference to the music department upstairs vice the main bookstore on the ground floor. Although the bookstore is great, the music department is unbeatable. The guys know their stuff and are extremely helpful. If there is a better selection of jazz, classical, or rock vinyl/cds in this city, I am not aware of it. The ECM section alone,if you’re so inclined, fills an entire display case. If you love music and are looking for a great place to buy some discs, you will not be disappointed with a trip to Ianos.
