    This was a perfect little break from our packed itinerary. We love to do creative hands on experiences as a family. It helps our family regroup to have a creative outlet. This workshop is an easy experience, and takes about an hour. We especially love that we get a little keepsake to bring home. Even our teenagers enjoyed the experience!!

    It was our first time trying wood carving. We had fun! It was just the three of us and the shop was open. Beautiful items for sale and we made both a leaf magnet and sailboat. Located in great old village, so glad we booked it. Owner Michael is talented, patient and welcoming.

    We really enjoyed this experience, was great to learn and practice some skills. Lovely gallery displaying the artists work, and includes other local artists. We took the Perissa bus from Fira and arrived early, it was a lovely town to walk through and had a coffee at a local cafe. Overall it was great activity to do as well as getting to see more of the island. The bus stop is outside the bakery in Megalochori and it’s a short walk from there.

    This was a fun introduction to wood carving -- just enough to get your feet wet, so to speak, and fit comfortably into an hour of instruction. You get to do the details on a maple leaf coaster and a wooden magnet shaped like a ship. I would have liked a little more choice as to what I carved, but I understand limiting the options in favor of saving time. Maybe there could just be one or two other choices, like a bird or a flower. In any case, I was a complete beginner and I pretty much got the hang of what I was supposed to do -- not perfectly, but well enough to be pleased with what I created. The instructor was kind and patient, and I had a lot of fun. The shop also has beautiful items for sale!
