When you are in Rethymno, Crete, do not miss this wonderful trove of musical treasures and knowledge. The exhibition of musical instruments, all beautifully hand-made is a great introduction to Cretan music. The generous hospitality included professional explanations and a demonstration. We highly recommend a visit.

Must do on your way to Balos Beach! If you want to take home s.th. special, not the standard souvenir! Beautiful show room with unique things made of local natural elements. The most impressive are Mike's olive bonsais! Also ask for their organic olive oil. if you are lucky, they have some left to sell you.

Our workshop is located in the handicraft, artistic park of Anopolis, in kokkini Hani area to Hersonisos municipality.Since 1964 we manufacture bronze statues and other artifacts, using the method of smelting, by the exact same way that the Minoans were producing their artifacts, which we admire nowadays in museums all over the world. The art of sculpture together with the art of smelting metal are the basic stages of our work. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to be guided to all areas of our workshop and of course to our exhibition hall, should you wish to buy your souvenirs or give us any special order! And, if you would like you can create your casting metal statue (casting lessons by us, about 1,5- 2 hour) just for 15 € per person!Free wifi for our visitors! Now, with the license of Cretan Hands (guarantee for best Crete products)!If you don't have a car we can transport you to our workshop and also take you back to your hotel with our mini van with free of charge!

Maria Sanoudaki Ceramic - Art Studio

Currently open by appointment only. Please do not hesitate to contact with us. Maria Sanoudaki Ceramic│Art Studio is a local studio based in the traditional village of Old Chersonisos in the island of Crete. You will find me in a traditional stone dwelling that used to be the house of my great-grandparents. In my studio you can discover unique handmade ceramic dishes, pots, home decor and elegant ceramic jewelry. Trying to find the sources of my roots, my work is inspired by the folk and ancient art of Crete combined with my constant research on contemporary and abstract art. Each item in the store is unique and handmade. I use different throwing techniques to create wheel-formed ceramic work as well as pottery hand-building techniques; that’s why each item may be slightly different. You are welcome to visit my studio, feel the cretan hospitality and see my art, which is made with love and imagination.
