10/10 experience and honestly one of my favorite things I did in Athens! Marianna and Dmitris are the sweetest couple — they made us feel so welcomed from the moment we walked in. There were plenty of snacks, drinks, and tons of laughs throughout. During the class, you get to customize a unique pair of sandals while they walk you through every step of the process. If you have room in your itinerary, do not skip this. It was so much fun!
Fantastic! Must do!

Dmitris and Marianna where absolutely wonderful! I can't say enough kind things about the two of them and our experience. My partner and I felt so welcome and we had an absolute blast! And the finished product...! For two people with rather odd feet we all certainly had our work cut out for us, but they took their time helping to adjust everything so it was comfortable and perfect for us! I have done many interesting excursions, but this experience certainly tops my list. And my partner, I can't thank them enough for spending so much time helping him and making this such a fantastic experience for us both. If you are in Athens, MAKE THE TIME. You certainly won't regret it or forget this one!

Hands down, this was by far the best worship in Athens. The instructors are so polite and patient. The sandals are gorgeous. I have wide feet because they are flat and she took her time to ensure the sandal would fit properly. The instructor and her husband are wonderful people inside and out. Highly recommend this workshop. Worth every dollar.

This was very unique and fun! The operator picked us up from the train station, served us drinks and cookies. They let us design our sandals just as we wanted them. They were so warm and inviting. By the time it was over we felt like friends ❤️
Amazing!

This is an incredible, unique experience! You basically design your own sandals and Dmitri and Mariana custom make them for you, right then and there, and give you the opportunity to help at various points. They are flexible and give you guidance; they are very helpful! One of our group was a repeat customer and told us how extremely well made her sandals were, and how they had lasted for years. The amazing thing was that she had brought her old sandals, which needed an adjustment, and Mariana adjusted them for her as well as making her new sandals! Mariana even remembered a story that the guest told the last time she visited. It was a wonderful experience, and I couldn't be more pleased with my shoes!
