Fun for Crafters

Amanda_S, Jul 2026

My youngest daughter loves arts and crafts, so we decided to do this activity. The dramatic performance at the beginning was fun and we all enjoyed making our own evil eye. It was a very relaxing way to spend an hour or two in what can be a hot and hectic city in the summer.

Weaving wonderful memories of Athens

Our entire family loved this experience - from the theatrics to learning how to weave - we highly recommend this workshop. Plus you will have an amazing masterpiece to take home with you :)
