The trend in souvenirs may have been transferred to design shops, but these old palaces of kitsch are the true mines when it comes to collecting. So dive in and give yourself at least half an hour. From postcards and city guides in all languages, to magnets for your fridge shouting "greece is for lovers" and "summer in Athens". Think bigger and go for the statues replicas, they are great for presents, especially if you feel creative, spray a Venus in gold. The area is full of these little mines.
