Candiashop Boutique: Where Fashion Embraces Every Woman

Heraklion has no shortage of boutiques — but there is one that stands apart. Candiashop Fashion Boutique isn't just a clothing store. It's a place built on a simple belief: fashion belongs to every woman, regardless of her size. Specialising in plus size women's clothing, the boutique delivers a full styling experience — from dresses and curated sets, to designer bags, handmade jewellery, and every accessory you could need.

In this guide, we'll walk you through everything that makes Candiashop a must-visit destination in Heraklion — its philosophy, its unique collections, its standout services, and why it has become the first choice of hundreds of women across Crete and the rest of Greece.

What Is Candiashop Boutique?

Candiashop Fashion Boutique is a women's fashion store dedicated exclusively to plus size clothing and accessories. Located in Kato Gouves, Heraklion, Crete, it has built a loyal following among both local shoppers and visitors to the island — which is why it earned the TripAdvisor Travelers' Choice Award 2023, recognised as one of the top shopping destinations in Heraklion.

The philosophy is refreshingly straightforward: every woman deserves to feel beautiful and confident. The clothes at Candiashop aren't simply enlarged versions of standard designs — they are pieces created specifically to flatter and celebrate every body shape.
