I have posted here before some photos of traditional Greek shop signs. Here are some more of these hand-painted shop signs that remind one of a bygone era.

    these signs have so much more character than ones made more 'professional'.

    Definitely these Greek hand-painted signs trump stenciled signs any time. So charming, most of them.
