Athens
This fresh entry on the Kolonaki gallery scene, founded by art specialist Christina Androulidaki, has a stable of emerging and midcareer contemporary Greek and international artists. In August it's open by appointment only.
Once a year they have a historical tribute to a local artist. Shows change every one or two months. All art is for sale and galleries can arrange shipping for larger items.
