BUTCHER SHOP AGELIS – HISTORY
The Agelis family deals with the meat for several decades. Since 1979 they own the store in Varvakeio Market. At the time this market was a “myth”, the Athenians’ meeting point for their purchases. For the Greek family, the walk in Varvakeio and the choice of meat that would be served on the Sunday table was something like “celebration”.
Having grown up with these images, Thanos Agelis decided to continue the family tradition, offering fresh and quality meat in today’s consumer. He worked by the best butchers and has gained the experience and expertise to choose for you the best meat, separating the Greek varieties from the foreign by only seeing their external characteristics, without having to refer to seals and certification documents … He also shares his knowledge and “teaches” customers secrets to distinguish the good meat! Those that have grown naturally, as he says, in nature, under the sun, and not in factories, on fattening conditions for example.
BUTCHER SHOP AGELIS – THE STORE TODAY
The present owner, Thanos Angelis, shares his extensive experience and expertise for the good meat. In fact he teaches his customers how to distinguish by taste – the No.1 feature quality- good meat.
This is, after all, the competitive advantage of the store. That provides the consumer with delicious meat! The perfect quality at the best price! In addition, he proposes tested recipes and gives instructions for best preparation of your favorite dishes, so as to enjoy them with your loved ones with a glass of fine wine.
Over the years, both the shop but also the Varvakeios Market in general have evolved. So far, this part of the city has managed to become a “tourist attraction”, welcoming tourists from around the world.
