After forty years in central Athens, the “Diaton” publishing house’s printing press continues its journey in Koropi as the Diaton / ONASSIS Gutenberg Printing Press, equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure, keeping the art of traditional printing alive.

These iconic collector’s editions bring together major figures in the visual arts (Georges Braque, Tavy Notton, Maro Vandourou) with great texts (Sophocles, Maeterlinck, Xenakis’s sheet music, T.S. Eliot) in artistically bound volumes, creating comprehensive works of exceptional aesthetic value.
