Such a great time... - Such a great time learning to carve into marble. It’s both easier and harder to do than I imagined and the end result you get to take home with you and treasure forever!

Authentic marble carving experience - We went to Maggies spot for the marble carving class and had an amazing time! It was such a beautiful and refreshing way to relax and be creative on our honeymoon. Could even see Mount Zas in the background! Maggie helped us pick our marble pieces and practice our techniques on another slab before using our own. Her guidance, and assistance, helped us create two great pieces to bring home. Gave us a new appreciation for other marble sculptures we later saw on the trip.

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!
