Lovely little shop in the heart of skyros town, my mother is obsessed by they're flip flops, they are so resistant she has them for like 5 years and uses them the whole time every summer, this year I got my own pair and am super happy about it. The owner of the shop is also great, it was a pleasure to meet her and visit kores

Second time i visit Skyros. And again a lovely surprise to walk into this store. A lot of creativity and a great host! So many things you want to take with you, but a suitcase way too small !!! So need to come back... Again! 😉

I have been to this shop a number of times and have always found lovely, original things that are of good quality (my fab flip-flops are still going strong after three years), reasonable prices, and my daughter and I are loyal customers. When I came to the shop this year, I was looking to buy a beautiful pair of earrings for a second time (having given the first pair to my sister), and the store's owner went to considerable effort to get my earrings delivered from her Athens shop before I had to leave, which I appreciated greatly. She was also generous with her time and help in finding a present I needed to buy for a friend. I go to her store every summer. What a pleasure!

Loved this! The best shop, most beautiful, interesting and quirky selection of clothing, shoes, jewellery etc. Had to stop myself from buying the whole shop! As well as the great stock what made this special was the owner (and her daughters). Unlike many of the other similar places you felt under no pressure to buy, her advice was genuine and honest, and she herself was and elegant and witty woman. What a pleasure.

If you'd like to take home something very unique, Greek and beautiful then make sure you call into a shop called Kores! It's located once you have turned left at the top of the High street (when going up to the museum or down to the beach). It's a couple of shops along here on the left, look out for scarves hanging on both sides of the street. Yianna the owner sells beautiful jewellery, clothes, watches, scarves, hand bags, artefacts etc which have all been chosen and/or designed by her and have an both an artistic and Greek theme about them. Yianna's warm and friendly personality and all the lovely things will find you wanting to keep on popping in again and again!!! She has 3 delightful daughters who you may also be lucky enough to meet! She speaks perfect English. Happy and kala shopping!

We just fell in love with this store. At first, I was really attracted to the colorful and so special shop window. The big smiles of Yianna and her beautiful daughters welcomed us in and showed us all the funky&folk pieces. The next day, on our regular walk, we just could not pass by without going inside and greet the owner. We started talking and the night was really pleasant. She treated us so well and she even offered some tsipouro!! I was amazed by the daughters, how much they were helping and how smart they are! Family business that worth supporting if you are thinking of buying something from Skyros Island!
Hopefully we will go again!

I've been in Skyros village since June 22nd this year. The village itself is very picturesque, especially early in the morning when shops are slowly beginning to open up. One shop I pass everyday and is my favourite in the village is Kores, run by the wonderful Yianna Karvela. It's a marvel of colour and tasty items, be it clothing, earrings, bracelets, artefacts and more, a cornucopia in fact. I pop in to say hello when ever I can then find myself distracted by the beauty I'm seeing, the arrangements of all on show. Can't recommend enought a visit to see what's beyond the door entrance, you'll be in for a treat.

This shop, owned by the very friendly and knowledgeable Yianna, is full of unique and wonderful gifts, both for yourself and others. Will definitely be going back to visit this shop throughout my stay on Skyros. Beautiful earrings and bracelet, my first gift to myself.
