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!

Exercise your creativity in marble - Four of us, all women, went to learn how to carve beautiful Naxos marble with Maggie Ross. We each came away with a marble carving worthy of display at home. Maggie taught us how to use various tools and gave us time to practice before she helped us draw a design to curve and gave us instructions on how to proceed. In my case she also helped me straighten out a few mistakes along the way so I ended up with a wonderful carving. It was hard work but we all enjoyed the experience and would recommend it to others.

This is one you don't want to miss! - We booked this and were very excited as this is the island of marble. We started with picking out the piece we wanted to carve. Then you get to practice and you realized very quick how this takes strength. After our practice you get to work on your piece. It was very satisfying seeing your final result. This was a great one in a life time experience!

Great experience - This was the perfect way to spend our last evening in Naxos! My husband and I had a great time and learned so much from Maggie. She is so knowledgeable about her craft and is willing to give as much or as little help as you need. Such a fun experience and you end up with a one-of-a-kind souvenir!
