Europe Greece Santorini Shopping Atlantis Books

Overview

Atlantis Books

The guide was updated: 2025-05-21

Tucked beneath a mustard-hued façade along Oia’s cliffside, Atlantis Books is no ordinary bookshop—it’s often hailed as one of the most beautiful bookstores in the world. Created by a group of literary-minded friends who fell in love with Santorini, this whimsical cave-like space is a haven for readers and dreamers alike. The hand-built shop overflows with fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and rare finds in several languages, from Greek and English to Spanish, French, and even Chinese. Walls and ceilings are lined with hand-painted quotes, ladders, and literary oddities—every corner feels like a chapter from a novel. Beyond books, Atlantis hosts intimate literary events, film screenings, and even residencies. And if that’s not enough, the rooftop offers stunning views over the caldera—a perfect spot to start reading your new favourite find.
