Chipping Away: A Marble Adventure in Naxos
We just got back from a marble carving session in Naxos and wow, it was a blast! My two boys and I got to chip away at our own pieces of marble, trying to follow the local artisan's tips—who was super chill and patient with us. It was hands-on from the get-go, which totally kept the kids (and me) hooked. Watching my sons get all proud of their marble pieces was the best part. Not your average touristy thing; it felt like we actually got to tap into some real Greek craft vibes. Definitely a highlight of our trip!
