New Spe­cial­ized Stores in Athens In­ter­na­tion­al Air­port

Hel­lenic Duty Free, the op­er­a­tor of Dufry’s stores in Greece, has com­plet­ed the open­ing of three spe­cial­ized store con­cepts that come to com­ple­ment the al­ready com­pre­hen­sive of­fer­ing of our Athens In­ter­na­tion­al Air­port op­er­a­tion.

The Naxos Apothecary

The Nax­os Apothe­cary is all about Nax­os-is­land-her­itage, pre­cious Greek herbs and state­ment de­sign – the brain­child of phar­ma­cist Gior­gos Ko­r­res and a trib­ute to his beloved home­land. Nax­os be­comes a point of ref­er­ence as var­i­ous el­e­ments of the en­chant­i­ng prod­uct col­lec­tion ‘nar­rate’ the cul­ture and his­to­ry of the Cy­cladic is­land, while or­gan­ic herbs grow­ing in its soil are used to de­vel­op the tai­lor-made face creams.

A set of ten fra­grances in­spired and named af­ter some of its most breath­tak­ing vil­lages and seashores takes cen­ter-stage, along with icon­ic bar soaps, show­er gels and pre­cious can­dles. But that’s not all there is; if a dec­o­ra­tive ob­ject – all de­signed by young, tal­ent­ed de­sign­ers – catch­es your eye, you can pur­chase that as well; from a brown glass vase rem­i­nis­cent of old-school phar­ma­cies to an imag­i­na­tive ce­ram­ic. All in­fused with the au­then­tic­i­ty and po­et­ry of a Greek is­land of the Aegean Sea.

Fournos Theifilos

An arc of Greek Food Cul­ture & Tales. When the team first thought of set­ting up Fournos The­ofi­los, the last thing they had in mind was a phys­i­cal store. Their idea of Fournos felt more like an “Ar­c”, a space where to col­lect, val­ue, show­case and of­fer the most pre­cious culi­nary trea­sures pro­duced in Greece, of the best pos­si­ble qual­i­ty.

Unique hon­eys, the purest of the pure vir­gin olive oils, baklavas, wal­nut pies, Smyr­na cook­ies knead­ed by proud ar­ti­san fists, fine nuts, and all those oth­er prod­ucts that con­sti­tute the pieces form­ing the mo­sa­ic of the Greek culi­nary tra­di­tion. As a trib­ute to the great folk artist who lent his name to that vi­sion, the store is dec­o­rat­ed with his art, en­hanced by vi­su­al el­e­ments from our col­lab­o­ra­tion with the Be­na­ki Mu­se­um.

Mastiha Shop

The long and cre­ative col­lab­o­ra­tion be­tween Mediter­ra and Hel­lenic Duty Free Stores has giv­en birth to a new “mas­ti­hashop”. Sev­en­teen years af­ter the es­tab­lish­ment of the first mas­ti­hashop at Athens Air­port, it was time to cre­ate the sec­ond mas­ti­hashop, this time in Ex­tra Schen­gen at the de­par­tures lev­el.

The de­sign of this new store fol­lows the line, the style, the phi­los­o­phy as well as the unique­ness of the brand, high­light­ing the prod­ucts and the op­tions avail­able.

The nu­mer­ous Greek and for­eign friends of mas­ti­hashop now have the op­por­tu­ni­ty to ac­quire mas­ti­ha prod­ucts of all cat­e­gories. From nat­ur­al mas­ti­ha, to cos­met­ics and sun­screens as well as tra­di­tion­al prod­ucts such as Turk­ish de­lights, spoon sweets and cook­ies. The of­fer also in­cludes food such as pas­ta, olive oil, sauces, and bev­er­ages such as cof­fee, tea, choco­late and liqueur and is fur­ther com­ple­ment­ed by more ex­clu­sive prod­ucts such as di­etary sup­ple­ments, tooth­paste,mouth­wash and soaps. Cus­tomers can en­joy these prod­ucts when de­part­ing from area A or area B of the In­ter­na­tion­al Air­port of Eleft­he­rios Venize­los.
