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!
Amazing Unique Experience, Must Try!!!

Mariana and Demetrios were great hosts and welcomed us warmly. I had a great time chatting with them like I was part of the family and walked out with amazing custom sandals! I'm so glad I found this activity and definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a unique hands-on experience away from the hustle of the city!

Excellent experience full of creativity and relaxation. Like hanging out with new Greek friends for the evening! I enjoyed picking out the design, materials, and assembling guided by the lovely Mariana the whole way. Dmitris kindly picked me up from the train station and offered a coffee stop. Highly recommend this authentic Greek experience with the best handmade souvenir to take home with you.
Absolutely worth it!

This experience was amazing! Marianna and her husband were so welcoming and kind, we chatted the entire time! There were plenty of snacks and drinks, and it was so interesting to learn about the sandal-making process, and to take part in it as well, using the machinery. I loved being able to choose how I wanted the sandals to look, and I got a beautiful, well-crafted bespoke pair in the process. If you’re in the Athens area and you have time, I would highly recommend this. It’s a relaxing couple of hours with good company, beautiful views and an interesting activity with something tangible at the end.
Absolute must

I booked this experience for my husband and I on our anniversary trip. My expectations were fairly high for this activity going in and Marianna and Dimitris EXCEEDED those expectations. They were the absolute nicest hosts. They treated us like we were friends or family. Their kindness made an excellent and interesting experience even better. Our visit started with a beverage and cookies. They explained the process so well and we were involved every step of the way. I couldn’t ask for a better souvenir than a custom pair of sandals. Marianna and Dimitris were so knowledgeable, helpful, and are passionate about the art that they bring to life. This was a lovely and memorable experience and I cannot recommend it enough.
