To Gid' - The Goat Shop

To Gid' - The Goat Shop is a small store, full of color and joy. It is located in Chora, in an old stone building, between the traditional bakery and Meltemi Bar, on one of the narrow paved streets that go down from the citadel to the village center.

In Greek to gidi means "goat", and the store logo is just that - a goat with a bell around its neck. That is very appropriate as goats are one of the first things that spring to mind when thinking of Samothraki.

There's a great selection of souvenirs and once you step into the store, you realize that it's no easy feat to decide what to buy first. There's a little something for everybody - for your loved (and unlucky) ones left at home and even a reminder of Samothraki for yourself when you'll be far away.

The shelves and walls are full of all kinds of magnets, t-shirts, hoodies, headbands, notebooks, ashtrays, caps, hats, creams, soaps and many other beautiful things, all decorated with ... you guessed it, goats.

The Goat Shop was founded in 2016 by Rania and Miltos. It opens every year at the beginning of May and closes at the end of September. From 2019 "the goats" moved to their current location and are closer to the citadel at the moment.
