Top Naxos Craft Classes

This was such an amazing experience! So glad I did it! Maggie was so helpful. Definitely a must do in Naxos.

This was a fun experience. A few things to remember.... You are carving marble so wear something that is not dressy. You will be in an open area that is not air conditioned. You have to pack your marble for travel back home...be mindful of the size of marble you are picking. Also very important....keep an open mind!So, this was a fun and unexpected activity for our family of five (ages 13, 17. 18). We enjoyed this experience. Kristos was very nice (quirky). You can tell he knows what he is doing. His son was also there and was very sweet. Kristos made delicious fresh limeade as there are lime and lemon trees throughout the property. He shared how he propagated lime, lemon and orange trees (clearly we are city folks :).

This was one of the highlights of our trip to Greece. I would absolutely do this again when we return to Naxos. You get to learn the traditional techniques of marble carving and then carve your own souvenir. All while snacking on local fruits and cheeses.

If you want a genuine Greek experience with a true artisan this class is an exceptional choice. The host picks the group up personally. He is friendly, funny, and communicates very well. Fresh lemonade made from the fruit of the trees on his property was waiting when we arrived. We were taught how to hand carve marble through demonstration, and guided practice. Everyone left with a beautiful piece of their own creation. Ask to see the hand made marble bathroom under construction. It’s awe inspiring.

My family of 5 thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon with Maggie. She was very patient and skilled teaching different techniques and helping us make the most of our marble pieces. Maggie also provided water, iced tea and delicious snacks. We love our marble souvenirs. Thank you!

Was very authentic. Made us have respect for marble sculptures. We had an 8 year old in our group. Make sure to make room in your luggage as each piece is fairly small it will weigh 1kg.

Maggie was very patient and hands-on in teaching us. Once she taught us the basics, she gave us the space to get absorbed in our own carvings. We had a nice snack break with tasty treats and coffee. The outdoor working area is beautiful. Getting to traditionally carve marble from Naxos and take it home was such a memory.

It is truly an experience and was so much fun! Marble cutting isn’t easy but they help teach you and you come out with an amazing piece to take home. Very unique experience and will do it again when we come back!

Maggie was a great teacher and host. She helped us all make something we were happy with and proud of. She treated us to iced tea, water, cookies, cheese and crackers, and watermelon. Our teen daughters enjoyed this challenging but relaxing activity. I would highly recommend this experience.

Maggie was a great teacher! Such fun! I would never have imagined I could have created something in a short time. Makes me want to do it again!

Maggie was well organized, taught us a lot about marble carving, and helped when needed. Her farm is a lovely setting for the experience and the local snacks were wonderful.

We had a good time on this experience. It did feel a bit unorganzied and had a strange flow, but overall we had a good time and learned about the craft of marble carving while creating our own "masterpieces"

I had such a great time at the Marvel carving class! I came in with an idea already in mind, and the instructors were incredibly helpful throughout the whole process. They really took the time to make sure everyone was happy with what they created, and the atmosphere was welcoming and encouraging. Plus, you get an amazing piece to take home at the end. Definitely a 5-star experience — I’d absolutely recommend it!

We had a great time in this introductory marble carving class! We had some great lemonade and it was a great fun couple of hours. We also got a marble souvenir to take back home. Overall, highly recommend!

Really amazing experience! You’ll experience a real art form with an exceptionally trained, patient and kind expert. You won’t get this opportunity again!

Christos is a diamond in the rough, a self-taught artist who lives only for his projects, his beautiful garden, and his animals. He is a patient, careful, and thoughtful instructor. He explains high-level concepts first, then has you put them into practice. He has you visualize your desired result in a specific piece of stone, which you take with you at the end. He also knows exactly when to step in and take over the tools and when to let you keep going on your own. It's a fantastic opportunity to get to know a unique medium, marble. There is an element of adventure in this experience: the ride from the town to the garden is somewhat rough, his truck is rather small, and the conversation is a mixture of English and Greek. His homemade lemonade is not to be missed!
