Publishing House "Othisis"

Publishing House "Othisis" (Εκδόσεις Ώθηση) is a Greek publishing house based in Marousi, a northern suburb of Athens. It operates as a combined publisher and educational-supplies retailer, selling both its own and third-party titles through its online store at othisi.gr. Its catalogue is organised around the needs of the Greek school market and general readers, spanning pre-school and kindergarten material, primary, lower-secondary (Gymnasio) and upper-secondary (Lykeio) educational books, foreign-language learning titles, and school books for the 2026/2027 academic year. Beyond textbooks, the house publishes and distributes general-interest categories including Greek literature, foreign literature, crime fiction, philosophy, history and folklore, classical literature, art, psychology and self-improvement, albums, illustrated books and comics, as well as a dedicated "Books in English" section. A separate children's and young-adult line covers books for young readers. A distinctive feature of the business is that it pairs publishing with a broad stationery and school-supplies operation. The website's stationery catalogue includes writing instruments (pens, pencils, markers, highlighters, correction products, mechanical pencils, erasers, sharpeners), notebooks (spiral notebooks in one to five subjects, blue notebooks, music manuscript books), filing and organisation products (folders, sleeves, files, rubber bands, book blocks, page markers, sticky notes, labels), art and drawing supplies (paints, brushes, drawing pencils, pastels, geometric instruments, compasses, scissors, glue, blocks), and lifestyle items such as bags, cases, accessories, diaries, notebooks and office organisation products. Seasonal offers and discount sections are also part of the store. The company is registered in Marousi, Greece, and its primary commercial identity is that of a Greek-language educational publisher and school-supply retailer serving students, teachers, parents and general readers in the Greek market. Detailed corporate information such as founding year, ownership structure and executive leadership is not documented in the available public sources.

Publishing House "Othisis" (Εκδόσεις Ώθηση) is a Greek publishing house located in Marousi, a municipality in the northern part of the Athens metropolitan area. Public documentation of the company's early history is limited; the available sources identify it as a publishing house based in Marousi, Greece, and its own website presents it as an active publisher and retailer of books and school supplies. The house has built its catalogue around the Greek education system. Its educational list is organised by school stage — pre-school and kindergarten, primary school (Dimotiko), lower secondary (Gymnasio) and upper secondary (Lykeio) — and it also carries foreign-language learning titles and a dedicated section for school books for the 2026/2027 academic year. This structure reflects the seasonal rhythm of the Greek school market, in which publishers and booksellers prepare annual textbook and supplementary-material lists for each grade. Alongside educational publishing, Othisis has developed a general trade list. Its categories include Greek literature, foreign literature, crime fiction, philosophy, history and folklore, classical literature, art, psychology and self-improvement, albums, illustrated books and comics, and a "Books in English" section. A separate line addresses children and young readers. This mix positions the house as both a curriculum-oriented publisher and a general-interest bookseller. A defining characteristic of the business is the integration of publishing with stationery and school-supply retail. The othisi.gr store carries writing instruments, correction products, markers and highlighters, mechanical pencils, erasers and sharpeners; notebooks including spiral notebooks in one to five subjects, blue notebooks and music manuscript books; filing and organisation products such as folders, sleeves, files, rubber bands, book blocks, page markers, sticky notes and labels; art and drawing materials including paints, brushes, drawing pencils, pastels, geometric instruments, compasses, scissors and glue; and lifestyle and gift lines such as bags, cases, accessories, diaries, notebooks and office organisation items. Seasonal offers and discount sections are part of the store's merchandising. Because the company's public footprint is primarily its own e-commerce site and a Wikidata entry describing it as a publishing house in Marousi, Greece, details such as its founding year, founders, ownership and management are not established in the available evidence. What is clear is its operating model: a Greek-language publisher and school-supply retailer serving the domestic market, with an online storefront as its principal commercial channel.
