Hyper Hypo

Such a unique modern design and art/ Greek culture focused bookstore in a lovely to wander area of Athens. We even order their uniquely curated books/posters/magazines to have delivered to NYC on the regular. Great lil exhibit space downstairs as well. Was great to finally meet up in person.

I'm visiting from the UK and was looking for a specific book - Athens’ Polykatoikias 1930-1975. The super friendly and helpful Thanasis checked for me but unfortunately it was out of print. He checked for me and explained it was going to have another print run so I should keep checking. It was excellent service and I loved the shop and their stock of books centered on culture.

Lovely store! Has a great and various selection of art, photography, philosophy books, + contemporary books relating to queer culture and political matters. Imo the prices are very affordable, as I left with too many books :) I also liked the fact that the store not only sells books, but also has its own political agenda (which is expressed through the different genres of literature). Highly recommended to stop by and browse 🔆
