A well established name on Kefalonia , G G Garbis choose fine stones and precious metals to design and make traditional and contemporary jewellery. A full collection of the jewellery used in the film Captain Corelli￿s Mandolin is on display at the GG Garbis shop on the sea front at Argostoli. Taking the symbol of the film, the mandolin, they have created a replica in 14k yellow and white gold of the mandolin played by Nicolas Cage in the film and this is presented on a gold chain in a red leather case. Expect to pay around 210 euro for the mandolin and 16 inch chain. Their Olive Branch hand made collection of jewellery in gold and silver is set with diamonds or c. zirconia to commemorate the Athens 2004 Olympic Games.

Many customers will remember the Olive Press Gift shop in its early days above the Olive Press Taverna in Lassi. The shop overflowed into a whole new shop in the centre of Lassi and Pauline opened her next gift shop in Argostoli in 1999. The shop has become a feature in the Lithostroto opposite St Spiridon￿s church in a very central location. A gifted buyer, Pauline￿s window and shop displays are truly wonderful and ever-changing with the season. Inside this Aladin￿s cave you will find jewellery of various styles from amber to art deco. For anyone searching for gifts or souvenirs of their stay in Kefalonia, the Olive Press Gift Shop should be number one on their list. The staff will gladly gift-wrap your purchase free of charge.

This busy bakery in Argostoli harbour lures its customers in with the smell of freshly baked bread using wood fires. Once inside, the daunting array of goods makes it virtually impossible to leave without increasing your calorie intake. It takes a strong will to ignore the piles of home- baked cookies, buttery croissants and cheese straws. Every type of bread is available and the staff are very friendly.
