Unfortunately we visited this shop two weeks back and We bought a discounted piece of gold 2800 € (as per the owner claim original price was 8100 € ) and 10 minutes after leaving the shop we came to know the real value is just only 750 € (they sold us 4 times more expensive, It was pure 18 K gold, no stone or diamond there) we tried to return it to them but they said owner already left and come tomorrow morning as he will be here to sort out the issue. in the morning same scenario and told us owner is not here , we had to report to Athens's Police and they did their best to help us even two Polices came to their shop to discuss with the owner but owner didnt show up again and someone else represented him and claim he is not decision maker. next step was to open a case against them which we didnt have time due to same day booked flight and hotel in another country. despite this issue, we had a good time in Greece specially Athens with great history, culture and people. After Hydra Reply: First of all I am the husband and I paid by myself and I came back by myself for the return after 10 minutes of purchase and someone on behalf of owner start talking to me and claim he is gold designer and value of this gold is more than 8000 € then I said ok good for you return back my 2800 € and enjoy your 5K profit. check your camera again (that is your first Lie) Secondly police didnt do anything against you as they came to sort out the issue in a friendly manner (appreciate their support) (that is your second Lie) I wish I had enough time to open a case against you guys to see what Police could do with some people like you. *************** *************** Second Update: I am not surprised by the lies you are keep saying it. Police couldnt do anything as we didnt open the case against you due to the same day flight. for your information they tried to help us and advice us to stay a couple of more days to allow them to make legal action. Funny thing is you are keep saying you didnt do anything wrong and value of the gold is 3 times more than what we paid for it but you didnt accept to return it.

I've been to Athens a few times and I'm yet to find a better souvenir shop and gallery. They offer museum reproductions for a fraction of the price if you live outside Europe. Their English is fluent and the guys who work there are friendly. They will even teach you things about ancient Greece while you shop.

SCAMMERS - please beware! Everything 1/2 off to celebrate 100 years in business. At this price it is still a ripoff. At the 1/2 price plus an additional €3 discount, my 11 year old son still paid €7 more for the helmets pictured compared to the full price he would have paid at the city kiosk. In fact, the very box the helmets came in says €5.50 above the bar code. Shame on me for not noticing. The building replicas were priced at €108 and €96. Oh! But 1/2 off today only, my 13 year old daughter paid €100 for both (as a birthday gift for her 11year old brother). See the prices in the picture for the same product at the kiosk. I hate to think that the beautiful jewelry I purchased was the same scam as I spent well more than I could truly afford €280. The store owners are smart to remove their price tag after your purchase.

Very nice souvenir shop, it's near the Acropolis, the people who help us are very kind, I found things that I couldn't find anywhere else, your service is perfect, thank you very much

I bought a gold ring from this place for $2700! I took the ring to other stores in Santorini and they priced it for $2200 maximum! I was very disappointed. I don’t recommend anyone to this place.

Great art and souvenirs. Price ranges for the timid and the adventurous. The owner was very friendly. They shipped my purchases directly to me in the US.

I want to thank Hydra Gallery for their excellent service and for their help in selecting the right vase (museum replica). After conducting market research, I found that both the quality and the price were superb.

I'm thrilled to support a business that values both quality and tradition. Wonderful store! Beautiful jewelry and the staff is so kind and helpful. If there is one place to visit for jewelry shopping in Athens, Greece, it is this!

This Athens jewelry store is a gem! With its exquisite craftsmanship and a dazzling array of jewelry, it's a treasure trove for anyone seeking elegance and style. The friendly staff's expertise and personalized service make every visit memorable.

Absolutely delighted customers! We are thrilled with our recent purchase from this certified store. We acquired a stunning gold ring that exceeded our expectations. The craftsmanship is impeccable, and the attention to detail is evident in every facet. The store staff was not only knowledgeable but also incredibly helpful in guiding us to find the perfect piece.

Amazing experience. Friendly owners and great bonus history lessons. Found a few things here and would definitely recommend anyone for looking for authentic pieces, made in Greece with love and care. Skip the other reproductions from China and spend more for more longevity.

Hydra Gallery is a place I will definitely go back to and shop online. The authenticity is amazing. More importantly, the staff are genuine, knowledgeable, and very accommodating. I truly enjoyed spending my money here; it was a fabulous experience.

I am from Saudi visited the shop last Summer amazed with my experience plus our items were shipped to our city with Good condition more than that we have Been recieaved with great hospitality from Owner as we usually have from Greece ppl Thanks ( ifkharisto)

I'm really excited, this venue was superb and the people who work inside they're always with the smile and ready to helped you if you need it. I purchased a large vase and a substantial statue, both shipped to me via FedEx door-to-door. I received them securely and in pristine packaging, ensuring their safety. Kudos to the store for top-notch service and secure delivery. Highly recommend their products and service quality!

Don‘t buy jewellery here! Mine broke one day after leaving Athen. Scam! They usually lie and say it‘s the customer‘s fault, but it‘s not. And the stuff is definitely not handmade, rather cheap chinese trash.

Very nice place, perfect for souvenirs. Staff extremly friendly, great deals :)

Dimitrious was an honest broker, and kind to deal with. His brother, and staff were equally as friendly. The place to go for kind honest dealing in Athens. Factory handcrafted, and of high quality. A great experience. We will be back. Louis & Colleen Martin

Very knowledgeable and nice team at Hydra Gallery, fair prices and great quality items. We purchased alabaster Apollo and Artemis busts while in Athens and had them shipped to us in Florida. They arrived when expected and were packed with extreme care.
