This
fine family run gift shop is unusual in the range
of products on offer. Situated in the attractive
shopping street of Arkadiou, which runs parallel
to the beach front and about 200 meters from the
harbour.
You are ensured time to browse without harassment
or interference from Costa and his friendly staff.
If you require assistance, just ask and helpful
advice will be offered.
Prices are reasonable by local standards and you
are sure to be able to purchase that special gift
or keepsake as a reminder of your holiday in
Crete.
Of particular interest is the wide range of chess
pieces and chess-boards. These make the perfect
present to take back. They are offered in a range
of sizes and prices. Something to suit every
pocket. Very attractive as an ornament, and
delightful to play with. Of particular interest to
the serious chess player will be the quality of
certain chess pieces, which come with a ‘passport’
of quality and excellence. Boards can be bought
separately to complement the set you already may
own and cherish.
Backgammon or ‘Tavli’ as it is called in Crete is
a very popular board game and widely played in the
Eastern Mediterranean. Nikos offers a wide range
of very attractive sets each with full
instructions on how to play.
For those visitors who like to collect ceramic as
memento’s this shop has a very wide range. Please
feel free to browse, but please be careful if
handling the products. Accidents happen but they
are best kept to a minimum.
Alabaster statues are always a nice reminder of
your holiday and make attractive and original
ornaments for that special spot at home. Again
because of the range on offer, prices vary. Please
do not be afraid to ask for advice.
Gold plated chains are sold by the cm and make an
inexpensive addition to your jewellery collection.
These can be converted to necklaces, wrist
bracelets, ankle bracelets [very fashionable in
Crete at the moment]. Again these are offered in a
variety of designs.
Nikos Gift shop is one of those places which takes
ages to fully absorb the wide range of unusual
quality gifts, and mementos on offer. Take your
time when seeking that special gift, the visit
will certainly be worthwhile.
We very much look forward to meeting you in our
shop and assure you of our very best attention at
all times |
