Join us for an inspiring and relaxing morning, open to all—no previous experience required!
The day begins with a delightful stroll through the central garden of Chania, a hidden green oasis in the city’s heart. Within this garden lies Kipos Café, the first historical café in Chania, in operation since 1870. We’ll take a brief visit inside to soak in the charm of its atmospheric interior.
In this beautiful and timeless setting, we’ll conduct our Ancient Greek Calligraphy Workshop.
Participants will:
- Learn to write in Ancient Greek script
- Combine simple elements of ancient-inspired painting
- Create their name in ancient letters
- Leave with a unique art piece to take home
No supplies or experience are necessary—just bring your curiosity!
Throughout the workshop, enjoy Cretan mountain tea and traditional Cretan sweets, as we create and connect in a setting that perfectly complements the spirit of the art.
Let’s share a beautiful moment of creativity together.
