点评:Babis (I hope I got that right) was simply INSPIRATIONAL. We stopped because I saw a color of linen shirt I was after while in Greece. The classic blue. I have looked at a lot of shops (some in Athens - some in other Cycladic islands) but a handful are not made in Greece. This is a dealbreaker for me. When I asked Babis he said “OF COURSE!” With a HUGE smirk. In fact Babis was wearing the exact same classic blue shirt.
We chatted for a bit even while he was helping other customers and seemed generally excited to learn about each other. There happened to be this other mint color I was interested in but they didn’t have my size out. Babis found one in his stock and I had to get both. I wore those instead of the clothes I packed for my trip to Naxos I loved them so much.
My experience was so positive with his heartwarming attitude, his fun and often joke-y conversation, and the quality of goods that I returned on my last day to buy a pair of white linen pants. There were other shops but I walked straight to his. He helped me find the perfect size and that’s all she wrote.
The next time I am Naxos I will stop by if nothing else but to say hello. Who knows??? Maybe I’ll need another color of shirt…. 🤪
翻译:巴比斯(希望我没拼错)简直太鼓舞人心了。我们停下来是因为我在希腊的时候看到了一件我一直想买的亚麻衬衫,经典的蓝色。我逛了很多店(有些在雅典,有些在其他基克拉迪群岛),但只有少数几家不是希腊制造的。这对我来说是绝对不能接受的。当我问巴比斯时,他笑着说:“当然!” 事实上,巴比斯自己就穿着一件一模一样的经典蓝色衬衫。
我们聊了一会儿,即使他当时正在招呼其他顾客,他似乎也很乐意了解彼此。碰巧还有一件薄荷绿的衬衫我也很喜欢,但是没有我的尺码。巴比斯在他的库存里找到了一件,我忍不住把两件都买了下来。我甚至穿着它们去了纳克索斯岛,而不是我准备的衣服。
他热情友好的态度、风趣幽默的谈吐以及优质的商品,都让我的购物体验非常棒,以至于我在离开的最后一天又去买了一条白色亚麻裤。还有其他几家店,但我径直走向了他的店。他帮我找到了合适的尺码,事情就这么定了。
下次我去纳克索斯岛的时候,就算只是为了打个招呼,我也会去他店里看看。谁知道呢?说不定我还需要一件其他颜色的衬衫呢……🤪
