Mikinos was obviously a very talented artist and he helped us to create our very first carvings! We ended up getting a private lesson in carving and it was such an incredible experience! I love that we have such a unique keepsake of our adventure in Greece.
Located at a beautiful restaurant, right on the water. This was such a fun and relaxing activity. Great appetizers and wine (juice/soda for non-wine drinkers) with breathtaking views while you sculpt. Everyone was so friendly and the sculptor was such a delightful instructor. Had a wonderful time and loved are sculpted keepsakes.
Nicholas was patient with teaching us how to carve and it was so fun! The snacks were amazing and the wine even better. I would definitely recommend this unique experience to anyone!
So fun! The instructor was super helpful and I highly recommend! It’s also a great restaurant for lunch and wine. Family owned and the family was amazing!
This place is amazing, the people are class, they walk you through the painting or sculpting experience however they just aid your ideas, the wine is lovely and the location is perfect, if you are here and are considering I would definitely do it, we came in not knowing what to expect or to be honest what we were doing but loved it. Plus got some sound dogs.
I had a great time doing this activity! I am not creative AT ALL but this was a very doable and enjoyable experience. This is a family-run business and everyone was so kind. There was a problem with the bus dropping me off at the wrong side of town and one of them kindly picked me up to ensure I was still able to participate. I would highly recommend this to anyone and would love to do it again if I ever find myself back in Santorini!
This was more fun than we imagined!! It was very interactive and hands on. We sculpted a piece of our choosing while sipping on local wines and enjoying a charcuterie board. The owner and his 3 sons were very friendly and helpful. The pieces were a bit difficult, but the owner is right there to guide. The family is very fun. Def recommend for wine tasting!! 10/10.
Thank you so much!
Was an amazing experience. Nikos is really creative and his family was very accommodating. They brought out an amazingly delicious platter of small finger foods, and the wine was yummy :)). Our sculptures turned out amazing thanks to hands on direction and clear mastery of an art that Nikos has. We had an amazing time I cannot recommend this enough it was most definitely my favorite part of my stay in Santorini!!!
We highly appreciate your review! we can't wait to see you again!
Wow!! Talk about immersing oneself in the true art experience of Santorini — surrounded by incredible wine & food — and right on the water?!?! My daughters (18 &16) and husband carved yesterday while I had an appointment & they can’t stop talking about the incredible time they had in the art studio. They created beautiful flowers out of local pumice stone to bring home — what a perfect souvenir & memory.
Thank you so much! We can't wait to have you at our restaurant again!
