Bohemian magical night walk in Athens
Step away from the commercial hype of the city as I welcome you to the alternative parts of Athenian vibe.
....Be prepared to be amazed by the mysterious and romantic atmosphere that surrounds Athens and gives to the city a unique touch that not many people get to experience. During the tour I am going to guide you through the most narrow and hidden streets where mainly locals go and I will tell you stories that are part of the local culture.
We will first stop in Plaka area to see picturesque little streets and enjoy a walk in Anafiotika, the coziest neighborhood in Athens.( Keep in my mind there are some few stairs in this place, but not a lot)
The Second part is a walk among the most iconic cafes and bars in the center of Athens.(we will not sit in any bars-it is more a scouting visit)
It's a great way to discover small taverns, bars and cafes and mix with the locals. The places we go to are small gems and are not easy to find at all. We will stop in 1 of these hidden gems to grab a quick bite.
This tour is not a bar hopping tour, it's a walk around the places that i love as an Athenian so you can choose where to pass your next days.
All are welcome! Solo travelers, locals, groups and couples.

Our second choice is a small and protected hidden beach where we are going to use our own beach chairs. The third alternative is the amazing lake of Vouliagmeni, a hidden treasure of Attica’s nature. The lake’s brackish waters which are continuously replenished both by the sea and the underground thermal springs offer a natural and unique thermal spa experience. The water temperature fluctuates between 22 ° C and 29 ° C throughout the year making the lake an ideal place to swim even during winter. The Fish Spa of the lake Garra Rufa , known as Doctor Fish, offer skin exfoliation to the visitors when they relax in the water. Its one of a kind peeling experience! Don't miss it!

Sculpt an animal from the ancient myths
In ancient Greek history, there was a deep bond between humans and animals. They became symbols, children's toys and played central roles in fairy tales. In mythology, human souls were trapped inside animals under the curse of the gods. Many ancient Greek artists used copper, marble, clay and gold to illustrate these minimal and, at the same time, perfect animal forms. As one of the admirers of this type of art, I would like to invite you on a journey to this magical world through the art of clay sculpture.
The workshop will start with a brief reference to the animals and their symbolism in ancient Greece. Then, I will show you the way to create animal forms. You can eventually choose and make your own animal creature and take it back home. The clay animal needs to dry 12-24hours . You can receive the creations after the end of the experience. You are provided with a package (box) that includes the sculpture on a base plus a kit to complete it. So on the shelf of souvenirs (memories) from the country you visited you will have a complete sculpture of your own hands. Or post it to your home address (with an additional cost).
The 2hours, workshop take place under the sacred rock of the Acropolis. Also two wonderful cats live together in the workshop.
For any further clarification or availability please do not hesitate to contact me.

Create silver jewelry by yourself
Think of your own idea and we will create it together, we can make either a ring, necklace, bracelet, pair of earrings or a small piece of art.
Your idea/design should have the size of about 3x3cm or 1,180x 1,180 inch , weighting approx. 4.5 gram. If you wish to have a heavier piece I can advice you and negotiate it at the workshop (an extra gram equals to 1euro). Except of silver we can also use bronze, cooper and even gold, as these metals add colour to some particular ideas. The option of using gold should be discussed beforehand , as it's price differs (1 gram of 24K equals to 49,33eu).
Try to keep your idea simple and in 2 dimensions, so we can accomplish it in about 3 hours. If you are not so sure about what to create, you can choose any of my designs, or I can advice you. At first we will make a sketch and after we will transfer the design on the metal and cut it out with the saw. Then we will smoothen up the metal's surface with emery paper and at last we will polish it to shine it up. The piece is yours and you can call it "My Athenian keepsake" or "My unforgettable time in Athens".
Making your own keepsake will give you the chance to learn in real the technical steps of it's creation.
If you have difficulties booking the experience go to this link
