Mati Evil-Eye Charm / Bracelet (glass & sterling silver)

The most Greek of talismans, bought where the superstition actually lives — pocket-money prices at the source.

Price: 10 EUR (Glass charms €3-8, silver mati bracelets €10-25 at Athens shops — best knowledge)

Where to buy: Monastiraki and Plaka everywhere; Forget Me Not (Adrianou St) for designer takes; island jewelers for gold versions

• The blue eye wards off the 'kako mati' — gift-standard in Greece for newborns, new homes, new cars
• €3 stall charms to €200+ gold pieces: same symbol, pick your budget
• Cheap versions are imported; ask for Greek-blown glass or hallmarked silver
