Crates of walnuts and chestnuts on the greengrocer counter at Oliméri in Kalamaria

KALAMARIA, THESSALONIKI

A proper greengrocer, coffee made to order, and the neighbourhood mini market.

Open from 7 in the morning until 11 at night. Fruit and vegetables picked one by one, a coffee counter for the walk to work, and everything a household needs, from fresh milk to firewood.

WHAT OLIMERI IS

THREE SHOPS IN ONE, ON THE SAME CORNER

Oliméri started as a greengrocer and turned into the thing the neighbourhood was missing. Under one roof you get fruit and vegetables picked one by one every morning, a coffee counter running from first light, and a mini market stocked for everyday life. These are not three separate businesses sharing a door. It is one shop built on the understanding that the morning produce run, the coffee on the way to work and the thing you forgot at eleven at night are the same need at three different hours.

The difference shows in the produce. Fruit and vegetables arrive fresh and get checked before they reach the counter, which is why customers write about the selection again and again. Next to that, coffee is pulled on the machine rather than dispensed by an automat, and the shelves behind carry what actually keeps a household going: milk, cheese and cold cuts, detergents, nappies, wine, and firewood through the winter.

The business is family run and the space is spotless, two things that come up in review after review. There is outdoor seating as well, for anyone who would rather drink their coffee here than carry it away.
