Shoe shop in Theologos

In the village of Theologos, which is famous for roast goats, the annual religious procession and the status of the ancient capital of Thassos, there is a place that should not be missed by those who are interested in traditional Greek activities or are not indifferent to quality handmade shoes.

The shoemaker's shop is at the end of the main Theologos Street (if you stop by the Theologos from the direction of Potos). It draws attention to itself with a signboard, and if you do not hurry along the streets of the village, you will not be able to pass by.

The owner, his assistant and the lady-seller are waiting for you inside. In Russian, none of them (at the time of 2014) was able to talk. The lady herself honestly admitted that she knows only "grandmother" and "good-bye" in Russian. This applies to the staff.

As for the assortment, on the shelves you will see women's and men's shoes made of genuine leather with more or less of its composition. With close examination of sandals, you will see that the quality of the skin comes across differently and should be chosen. As for the styles, here you can buy mostly sandals with different variations of the location of the straps and clogs on the flat sole - that is, the traditional for the Greeks shoes. There is no choice of shoes with heels, with feathers and rhinestones. The only variety is the choice of shoes with a so-called "back" (closed with a heel) or without. The colors are different - like the vigorous colors of blue, azure, bright yellow, red, and muted brown. As for the prices, then for women's shoes the price starts from 18 euros and lasts to about 30 euros. Men's shoes are slightly more expensive - from 30 euros.

Excursion to this store is also interesting in that directly in the room with a counter is a mini-production, where you can personally see how the next pair of sandals are made - the sole is sewn or a hand strap with a clever and skillful fingers.

There are certainly a lot of counters with hand-made sandals on the streets of the towns and tourist areas in Greece and you will have the opportunity to buy your shoes there. However, if you will be in Theologos, where both romantically and not corny will buy a pair of summer shoes directly from the Greek manufacturer in the ancient village. I do not know how to wear it, but it's worn sandals will be nicer.

It's like buying a package of milk in a supermarket or visiting a grandmother with a cow in the village and buying her fat milk from her.
