Discover something unique , an artisanal creative way of making Greek Style Sandal
In an age dominated by mass-produced footwear, there’s something profoundly alluring about the idea of handcrafted sandals. Each stitch, each cut of leather, carries with it the legacy of a timeless tradition. It’s an art form that transcends mere functionality; it’s a testament to human creativity and craftsmanship. Today, I invite you to embark on a journey into the world of sandal-making, a journey that promises not only the acquisition of a practical skill but also a deeper connection to heritage and craftsmanship.

If I could give it 10 stars, I would !! You get to choose your design, the colors and then you get to do all the making- cutting the soles, the straps , all of it !! It was so fascinating ! And Marianna and Dimitris are the most amazing people I have met – so warm and homely- made sure we were comfortable at all time and did such a fabulous job explaining the whole process and managing us around the workshop. We were a family of four with two kids and we all made our own pairs of sandals. The finished sandals are so comfortable and look amazing !
★★★★★
I had a great experience making sandals with Marianna. She was very welcoming and informative about the entire process. I got to choose a design and customize it with different leathers that she had available. I did this a as a solo activity, but I would definitely come back with a group of friends. Overall a great experience!
