Incredible Experience! - This was such a special experience! It is well worth the money. We never felt rushed in finishing our carvings. She gave us time to practice each of the methods before starting on our own pieces of marble. The host provided delicious nectarines, biscuits, and tea. I would definitely recommend this experience!

Recommend! - This was such a fun activity on Naxos!! Learning how to carve marble was so interesting and honestly therapeutic, with lots of practice and time to work on your own piece as a souvenir - and on top of that, the hospitality and camaraderie is wonderful! Even better, it was a perfect pit stop biking between the temples of Dionysus & Demeter!
