Activity itinerary

Our journey begins at the magnificent Church of Saint Demetrius, where we will study the rare mosaics and explore the atmospheric underground Crypt. Next, we head to the heart of the Old Town to visit the Monastery Latomou. Together, we will discover the world’s only mosaic of the "Beardless Christ". We will then visit the Byzantine Bath, the best-preserved bath, located right next to the historic Library. The journey continues at Dimitra’s Art Glass Studio, a boutique creative space. After a warm welcome, you will discover your creative soul through a hands-on workshop. Using our modern and intuitive approach, we will guide you step-by-step through the ancient art of mosaic—no prior experience is required. You will start by choosing a Byzantine-inspired pattern and high-quality glass pieces to reflect your personal style. With individual support, you will compose your artwork by carefully placing and gluing each piece. In the final stage, you will learn how to fill the gaps with tile grout, completing your creation. You will leave with a one-of-a-kind glass mosaic that reflects your creativity—a lasting souvenir of your artistic journey in Thessaloniki.
