Tucked away off Love Lane, Agora The Little Green Market on Pike Street in Mattituck is well-known for its fresh imported olives, authentic feta cheeses and decadent Greek desserts. But there’s another reason why this shop was chosen for our Hidden North fork pick: handcrafted gifts.

The sweet little store, which stocks its unique items seasonally, has the most charming finds. From Greek-inspired jewelry and the prettiest ring dishes to natural bath products and handmade ceramic kitchenware, when I’m looking for a gift I know will stand out and feel special, Agora is the place I always find myself visiting.

These little bird sculptures are handmade by an artisan just outside of Athens, Greece. Each is uniquely hand-carved.

Agora owner Joanne Cosonas curates items for her shop based on what appeals to her. She discovers artisans as she travels and her relatives gladly send her sources, too.

Light a candle in front of these religious plaques or Greek “Tamatas” to offer a symbol of healing.

Versatile and decorative these little bowls that are handmade on the island of Crete are the perfect size to hold jewelry or spices.

The market is stocked with gorgeous, evil-eye-themed jewelry all imported from Greece.

These tiny brass owls signify wisdom make a sweet and unique gift.
