What Makes This a "Double Hero" Experience? 

During this sustainable adventure you will learn the eco-friendly art of papier-mâché, using recycled materials like newspapers and cardboard to create a beautiful bowl, turning ‘waste’  into a vibrant cultural expression. Of course, you will also enjoy a traditional Cretan meze (snack) and a local beverage; this is the island’s authentic hospitality at its finest.
