Handcrafted jewellery, ceramics and sculptures all made with love by Greek artists. Magemenos means enchanted and I hope this is how you will feel after a visit to my eshop or my store.
My shop opened in 2002 in the quiet village of Afytos in Halkidiki, Greece.
I wanted to work with both established and new Greek artists so that holidaymakers and locals clients could find many handmade and unique gifts all in one store.
My main aim has always been to create a "happy customer". I want you to love what you buy and understand the individuality of your purchase.
I believe it is so important to support Greek art workers and feel blessed to be working with so many interesting and creative people.
Whether you visit me online or in person I'm happy to help you choose an item that speaks to you.

I have lived in Halkidiki for over 20 years and if you ever have a chance to visit you will find it absolutely amazing. It's full of sandy beaches, pine forests and, of course, the beautiful blue Aegean sea.
I originally came from the UK to work a summer season here and, you guessed it - never went back.
The Greeks have a saying about Halkidiki - "Σαν την Χαλκιδική δεν έχει!" which translates as "There's no place like Halkidiki" and this is how my journey began.
I am lucky to live in Afytos in summer and winter. Summer months are spent working in my store and having the pleasure of meeting people from all over the world.
Winter months are spent recovering with winter swims and walks. I'm also on the committee of the local football team (which basically means I clean the clothes and the changing rooms!).
I hope you enjoy my eshop and I would love to see you in the summer.

My shop is located at the top end of the village a short 2 minute walk from the square.
Come for a browse - I may even let you into some of the secret "must see"s during your holiday. Enjoy.
