At times, the allure of the Greeks' sense of style comes from the textiles. The coarseness of their linen. The suppleness of their leathers. The smoothness of their fringe. They all give dimension to the Mediterranean look, making it stand out against other European aesthetics. And if it's textured items you want, you should go to Bazaar at Scorpios.
