The shop · Est. 1997

Same shop. Same family.
Two generations.

Giannis Mellos and Aspasia Karnezi opened the shop in 1997, after working lives that ran through marble workshops and fuel stations.

Their daughter Kate Mellou runs it today, and turned it toward the water: ropes, anchors and antifouling alongside the tools and paints the village has always come in for.

The shopfront on 25 Μαρτίου in Galatas: a yellow awning under a blue frame, the ΜΕΛΛΟΥ sign reading ΣΙΔΗΡΙΚΑ, ΟΙΚΟΔΟΜΙΚΑ, ΧΡΩΜΑΤΑ, ΓΕΩΡΓΙΚΑ, ΝΑΥΤΙΛΙΑΚΑ, and brushes, fenders, rope and hose set out at the front.
