As the morning sun shines over the island, you will arrive in a peaceful Cyprus...
Enjoy an authentic traditional Cypriot basket weaving workshop available exclusively on Book My Culture. In this hands-on Cypriot eco-friendly craft experience, you will learn the age-old art of weaving using native Floudi (natural palm husk fibers). You will weave a rustic circular base and elevate it with stylish fringe borders in an interactive macrame and basketry coaster workshop. Along the way, you will savor local flavors with authentic Cypriot coffee or chilled lemonade and traditional homemade mahallepi.

You will be warmly welcomed to one of the most unique authentic Cyprus cultural activities. Your expert guide will introduce you to the rich history of island craftsmanship, sharing fascinating stories about how generations of artisans used local plants to create everyday items. To begin your authentic local Cypriot workshop experience, you will taste a fresh dish of mahallepi alongside freshly brewed Cypriot coffee or refreshing local lemonade.
Before crafting your eco-friendly souvenir, your instructor will guide you through material preparation and proper fiber handling techniques. You will discover how raw natural floudi is prepared into strong, flexible strands suited for intricate weaving patterns. You will get hands-on with all tools and practice basic looping motions.
Now it is time to build your very own masterpiece during this hands-on traditional basketry class in Cyprus. Under the expert guidance of your host, you will start by weaving the sturdy center of your coaster using natural Floudi techniques. Then, layer by layer, you will make the woven base bigger. Once the woven core is complete, you will add modern flair by tying macramé knot borders, gently combing out the soft cotton fibers and trimming the edges for a clean boho-chic finish.
By the end of your session, you will hold a beautiful, functional handmade souvenir that blends rich island history with modern style. Before heading off to your next departure, you will enjoy dedicated free time to take pictures of your creation, ask your local host for insider travel tips and enjoy the friendly atmosphere of a true cultural hidden gem.
