MAKE IT REAL.
BE THE SOAPMAKER:
EXCLUSIVE WORKSHOP IN CRETE
DESCRIPTION: Become a soapmaker for a day in this private, hands-on experience at Helleo, a small, family-run soap lab in Crete, just outside Heraklion (7km), close to the historic Knossos Palace (5km) and the picturesque village of Archanes (5km). Guided by Manos and Stelios, you’ll create your own batch of soaps with your favorite herbs, textures, and fragrances — a truly personal experience for 2–8 participants.
Learn every step of our process, from blending olive oil and botanicals to pouring and scenting your mix. Each participant can get 2 bars of his own made premium soap once mature (4 weeks). Shipping can be arranged worldwide (shipping cost not included in the price).
Relax with music, coffee, and local treats and enjoy a friendly chat about Cretan life. Before you leave you can browse our concept store for one-of-a-kind creations, some of them available only in our lab.
