Lexikopoleio

«Lexikopoleio»; from the Greek: λεξικό, lexiko, “dictionary” and πωλώ, polo, “to sell”. What better name for the first bookshop in Greece specializing in dictionaries? Lexikopoleio is a bookshop where you are bound to spend time browsing the shelves and discovering new books. We’ll be there to offer advice and help you find and order that special book you are looking for.

Lexikopoleio is the first bookshop in Greece specializing in dictionaries covering many different subjects in many languages. You will find all the usual Greek, English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Latin and Ancient Greek, monolingual, bilingual and multilingual dictionaries; but you will also discover books on slang, proverbs, expressions, phrasebooks and humor books not available anywhere else in Greece!

The subjects of our dictionaries range from the rain, football, famous quotes and the theatre to rock music, manga comics and beyond. There are even dictionaries about… dictionaries!

We also have dictionaries that are old and difficult to find, second-hand dictionaries, electronic dictionaries, and we can even help you locate any dictionary whether it’s published in Greece or abroad.

But there’s more to Lexikopoleio than just dictionaries: language learning books, novels about dictionaries, books and software on translation. Our shelves are a treasure trove for those who love language.

A cosy meeting place for friends who share a love of language and for professional translators, interpreters and teachers…
