In 1973, the Konstantinidis optical store was first introduced to the people of the center of Thessaloniki, with its creator Kostas Konstantinidis, one of the most highly qualified optometrists of the time, with a lot of talent and passion for his work. The shop quickly gained a reputation throughout the city, making it a “fixture” of quality and finesse.

At the dawn of the new millennium, specifically, in 2002, his son, Giannis, took over the reins, having, even today, the experience and knowledge of his father by his side. By his side, of course, is also his wife, Konstantina Maisouridou.

Giannis Konstantinidis studied at the IRSOO school in Vinci, Italy, graduating as an optometrist with excellent grades. His talent comes from his soul, since this is the work he loved as a child and which he dreamed of “serving” for his whole life.

Although he took over the business from a true optical “guru”, Giannis managed to take the business many steps further, giving it his own personal touch. Even in a short conversation with him you will understand the great love he has for his subject and how dedicated he is to his science.

“What I constantly strive for is that in the store the customer can find something different, something special. Unique products, of high quality standards and not just glasses of a famous brand. I have a weakness for looking for authenticity and quality above the average, so that there is a reflection of the price in each product. Through my experience, I can understand the quality by holding a pair of glasses in my hands,” he notes.

As he told us, for him choosing the right pair of glasses is a process to which he gives “soul”. “For me, it’s like dressing the client and believe me, I’m more than happy when, through my guidance, he finds the glass that fits his face perfectly. I try to keep the beauty of things and for me harmony is very important.” With a short conversation with him, one can easily understand that Mr. Konstantinidis is indeed a connoisseur of symmetry (how and what should be placed, what goes with each one), while aesthetics is a part of himself. At the same time, he is a lover and researcher of vintage philosophy, as well as a collector of watches from the period 1920-1970.
