Eleftheroudakis

17 Panepistimiou

About

Eleftheroudakis, has a new eight-story headquarters at Leoforos Panepistimiou 17 (01/331-4480), with Athens's widest selection of English-language books and a good selection of CDs, including much Greek music. There's also a cafe (with some free newspapers and journals to read) and clean rest rooms. The staff seems amazingly tolerant of tourists who stop by to read, but not buy, their wide selection of books on Greece. Check the bulletin board by the cafe to see if there are any readings by local authors (sometimes in English) or upcoming concerts.
