Atene : vivi il mito e intreccia il tuo stesso malocchio

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.

I utilize the evil eye for protection on a daily basis and I wanted to take this workshop as I am touring Greece from the United States. I got a chance to learn about the history behind the evil eye with this interactive theater and then she teaches us how to weave. She was very kind, enthusiastic, and helpful. It was a small group when I was there, which made this a very pleasant experience. The place is clean and beautifully decorated. It is located upstairs from the entrance, but someone was there to meet me and give me directions. I left with a very special souvenir that you can’t purchase anywhere else! Definitely recommend this for a special and unique memory making experience.

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 :)

Very interesting experience. The actress really very good, and also very patient in following us during work. Simple but very nice and well maintained setting and atmosphere. You have to be open to something a little different than usual, so you can totally appreciate the experience. Highly recommended!

It was a real one-person theatrical show combined with a lesson on weaving. Arachne is a very patient and gentle teacher. But before the weaving class she unwinds a dramatic history of her weaving competition with the great goddess Athena. The event will captivate both children and adults alike! Arachne also shares some soft drinks and snacks (tea, wholegrain cookies and some chips, no dew or flies!). Of course she meets us in human form and we can help her escape the curse of the jealous goddess! At the end you can take home your own handcrafted colorful talisman, that can serve as an evil-eye repellent or a dreamcatcher if you like - or just be a little part of real Athens to take with you and remind you of the friendly atmosphere of this ancient but very lively city.

Very interesting and enjoyable performance and craft. Very welcoming, patient and praised our efforts throughout. Highly recommended.

It was a lovely experience! They not only bring the story to life by an amazing performance, but also they involve you as part of it. Beautiful, relaxing and entertaining. If you like the theater, ancient stories, and learning new crafting skills, you’ll love this one!

This was such a great, unique experience to break up the super hot day in the city. Arachne (a great ancient, talented weaver) was in character from the minute you walk in which was great fun! The performance before weaving really set the scene for us. Arachne was patient and helpful in each step of the weaving process. It was also a lovely environment to get to know other people. I had never weaved before and I am so, so happy with my evil eye! Thank you for the great experience.

A wonderful experience in a beautiful space in the center of Athens! The actress helped us to weave an evil eye through an interactive performance!

An excellent experience all around. The space was very welcoming and the show really draws you into the story. The actress really lived her part. As far as the weaving is concerned, it was a very creative and entertaining activity with a calming effect. The location is great because we combined this outing with a late lunch. I would definitely recommend this interactive performance to anyone visiting Athens, who wants a unique souvenir that you get to create yourself.
