Arachne, a great interactive experience - An excellent experience all around. The space was very welcoming and the show really draws you into the story. The actress really lived her part. As far as the weaving is concerned, it was a very creative and entertaining activity with a calming effect. The location is great because we combined this outing with a late lunch. I would definitely recommend this interactive performance to anyone visiting Athens, who wants a unique souvenir that you get to create yourself.

Great experience - very unique - definitely recommend - Such a lovely experience! The workshop was great - learning how to weave the traditional Greek evil eye combined with the theatrical element made the experience truly unique. The host was a great actress and a patient teacher. You even get to keep the loom at the end as a gift which was a very nice touch. I would definitely recommend!
