6.Create Your Own Mosaic 3h Private Art Class

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 62 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $96

At 13 Mosaic Studio on Ermou Street, Marina and Zoe guide you through Greek mosaic history, design choice, tile cutting, color selection, and hands-on assembly. This private three-hour English class suits beginners and gives you a personal keepsake, though the finished piece needs about 24 hours to set.

“We absolutely loved this class. It was very educational, and they provided a lot of good, productive feedback about making the mosaic while also allowing you to be creative. I also really liked that there was a good size assortment of premade patterns to use, as opposed to having to come up with one on your own. One note, I would suggest doing this early in your trip, where you still have a few days before travel to allow time for the mosaic to dry and for the studio to apply the finish. Overall, it was a wonderful experience that gave us one of a kind souvenirs.”
