What you can expect

Travel back in time to when Cretan people used to make their own traditional homemade Cretan soap using only extra virgin olive oil. Make your own traditional soaps using recipes passed down through generations of the workshop leader's family.

Make your way to the meeting point to begin your workshop. Then, start making soap from scratch, and adjust the soap’s features — such as perfume, color, or shape — to your tastes. With the help of your biochemist instructor, produce a product tailored to your needs.

The procedure is completely safe, even for young children, and no specific knowledge is required. Use your own hands and produce the purest cleaning product using only extra virgin Cretan olive oil, produced by your instructor’s family without insecticides or other chemicals.

At the end, take your soaps with you and they will be ready the next day as a souvenir to remember this unique experience as you take your shower. You can also take the step-by-step recipe home with you to make your own soap at home.
