This is the stereotypical library . It's slightly underground and has a cat and a dog. The book selections are excellent and the atmosphere is just the best.

Best bookstore I've ever seen(even better than Shakespeare&Co,Strand) Owners' inspirational story makes us think about our lives.Buy Atlantis Santorini map at your 1st day and follow the instructions

Savoteur

This shop hosts a book festival every November full of writers and artists . Visitors come for the views from this tiny island , but Atlantis Books is a special part of Santorini's many surprises. Read more

What a treasure trove. If you buy a book , the put a stamp in it. When you walk in, close your eyes and inhale. Best smell in the world ❤️

Dear bookworms & booklovers, this bookstore is a must visit. Though Oia seems like a maze, you won't miss this one. They have a great deal of good books in many languages , & cute book-related stuffs.

Ayomi Michaelis

Go to the rooftop (unlike other similar places, it is free!) to have a view of the caldera and catch the glimpse of the sunset . Oh, and if you're lucky, meet the owner's cat lazying around on the top.

Kayleigh Harrington

Loved this shop, great variety of classics and new books . Don't miss the terrace on the second floor with caldera views .

Maddie Coleman

If you come to Oia you MUST see this shop. An excellent selection of books , friendly employees, & a quirky and warm atmosphere. Don't miss it!

Bubble

Don't miss it if you are on the island . A lovely, cozy , amazing bookshop held collectively by many people. Looks like something naturally grown from Santorini's soil.

Ayomi Michaelis

If you buy a book (or many), or anything that has page(s), don't forget to ask the gent at the till to stamp it. In my case, he also stamped the postcard I bought as I requested him to do so. ????

Clara Wu

a shame that they may be closing - so many amazing gems and a really well curated collection! must see while it's still open!

Nicholas Ampazis

Friendly staff for sure, but beats me how this dusty/unkempt hole in the ground qualifies as one of the best bookstores in the world. If it weren't located in Oia no one would give it a second look.

Andrew P

Coolest book store I've ever been to. Come in here to soak in knowledge and check out their terrace for a nice view .

Pauline Libeert

Lots of English literature, lovely place to see. If you love books , you cannot miss this shop. The only shop that doesn't scream for tourists .

One of the most beautiful places on earth. Book paradise with view to the caldera plus two really pleasant owners with their lovely pets !

Check out the rooftop reading area by taking the staircase through the bookshelves in the back.
