Thessaloniki: UNESCO Walk & Byzantine Glass Mosaic Workshop
Description
This experience is a rare blend of cultural exploration and hands-on creation. Unlike standard city tours, we don’t just show you history; we help you recreate it. You will visit three UNESCO-listed monuments, including a hidden 5th-century mosaic masterpiece, and then immediately apply that inspiration in our private glass studio. Located in the heart of the historic Ano Poli, our workshop offers an authentic local vibe with traditional Greek treats right on the historic Koule Kafe Square. You won't just leave with photos, but with a 100% handmade glass mosaic, safely packed to take home—a personal piece of Thessaloniki’s Byzantine soul created by you.

Thank you very much for your kind words! Stay creative!
I recently learned how to make Byzantine mosaics, and it’s been such an inspiring experience! The materials I bought especially the glass mosaic tiles were of excellent quality and at fantastic prices, much better than what I’ve seen in London. There was a beautiful variety of colors and textures, perfect for creating authentic, traditional designs. The owners are incredibly knowledgeable, very approachable, and always ready to help with advice or suggestions. Their passion for mosaic art really shines through, and they make the whole experience enjoyable and welcoming. I’m so happy with how my first mosaic turned out and can’t wait to start my next project. Highly recommended for anyone interested in mosaic art or just starting out! Thank Dimitra & Kamila !!!!! I’m coming back for the creative art design workshop!!!!
