Mnemossyne is without a doubt my favorite boutique on this magical island. In a place where boutique meets art gallery, you find yourself surrounded by gorgeous handmade jewellery, artifacts of all kinds, as well as beautiful photography by Andrea Motta. The modern style of the boutique mixed with the very authentic cave house in which it is located creates a... More

This fine artistic shop, has a wonderful atmosphere, colours and a great variety of artifacts of any kind to buy. This beautiful yellow colour on the outside made me go inside and it was worth the time. The girls who own the shop were very kind and smiling.

Great small shop with wonderful jewelery mainly made by young Greek designers. I bought a ring which I have not taken out since!. They also sell wonderful photos (black and white) by Andrea Motta, a Brazilian photographer who has her original individual style. Compliments to the saleswoman who is very friendly and helpful. It is worthy to go down some... More

In a touristy area where every shop has the same souvenirs, Mnemossyne Artists House is a refreshing change of pace. It's full of unique pieces of art made by local artists; the owner, Alexandra, is super friendly and nobody gives you the hard sell. I found a piece I really loved, but I wasn't sure I wanted to buy it.... More

This time at the island, we've missed the Mnemossyne Gallery. But the photography work of the main artist is still to be found at the new Artists House. Next to her gorgeous pictures, you will find all kinds of handcraft from local artisans. Gorgeous silver and gold plated juwlery, typical lava stone juwlery, wood work, fine clothes and home decor.... More

Andreas and Alexandra of Mnemossyne were the most gracious shop owners we met on our 12 day journey on Santorini. Their shop contains incredible unique jewelry, photography, clothing and paintings. Unlike majority of the shops found in Santorini, their shop contained very classy items.
