    Beautiful and authentic handmade products. Different kind of products from pottery to wine selections, spices and honey. It gives you a much better feeling buying products than from the plastic market nearby. Prices are good for self-made goods and staff is nice, helpful and explains a lot about the place. Some piece are made directly in the workshop. There is a cafe as well to sit down and watch the craftsman. Definitely go there and get quality products with a responsible feeling to the local people

    Beautifully-made creations from local artists, including pottery, mosaics and paintings. All hosted in a magnificent old building with high vaulted ceilings. Friendly and knowledgeable staff who speak English fluently. For those complaining about price, remember these are hand-painted items and 10-20 euros for a handmade ceramic pot is excellent value. Feel free to visit TK Max or Jumbo if you prefer tacky, mass-produced junk from China.

    Love Love, Love The Place! Wide selection of crafts designed by local artists. Homemade soaps, herbs, olive oil, wine, pottery, they have it all! Unfortunately we were not there on a class day, but they offer crafting classes and a shadow puppet theatre. Just a really cool and unique place to shop and hang out. The owner was lovely as well as the staff. They took us around and told us about all of the different artists they feature. Very informative and a lovely chat. Do not miss if you are in Paphos!

    Visited in May to check out the pottery. Found it hard over the last few years in Cyprus to find some traditional arts and craft a which are reflective of the island’s heritage and culture. Was very impressed by all the items on display as well as the opportunity to meet the artists who make the items. Staff very friendly and the prices very fair. Nice area of town to explore further. Would recommend a visit.

    Loved the experience. We came for pottery making workshop which was super fun. The lady at the shop offered us very tasty lemonade for free and explained many products and their backstory. The workshop should cost more considering how awesome it was and we loved seeing experienced craftsman and their skills

    The Place is truly the place to visit! Every shop assistant was immensely hospitable and helpful, and the experiences offered to guests within the shop itself are truly priceless. This local shop is like no other we visited during our holdiay in Cyprus, as tradition was literally brought to life with live artists creating their own work during shop hours. A big bonus is the opportunity given to visitors to try out some things themselves i.e wood burning and pottery. We tried wood burning (encaustic drawing) with Mr Petros and it was quite the engaging and fun experience, one which we will cherish, not only throughout own work which we get to take home but also through the appreciation for the craftsmanship required for this kind of art.

  • 3/5 Alexy G. 4 years ago on Google
    Really nice place, but it's to bad that we didn't know that the craftsmen only actually show their work process during morning hours. We came in early afternoon hours, and by that time it was just like any ordinary shop.

👍👍 Very friendly service. They have an array of crystals, jewelry, spiritual goods, and many other things. The prices are a little bit expensive, but that tells me that the items are genuine! So, come here if you are looking for a genuine memento of your Cyprus vacation (if you are into crystals!).
