Margarites, Crete, Ceramics Art


Hello dear blog readers,

in this article I want to give you more information about the artists village Margarites on Crete island in Greece and the ceramics art tradition in this interesting village.

Margarites (Μαργαρίτες in Greek) is an old traditional village and is located around 30 kilometer away from the centre of Crete in south east from Rethymnon town.

The village is well known for handmade pottery and ceramics art and in the busy season many tourbuses with tourists are stopping there, because of the many ceramics and pottery art shops.

If you like to learn the traditional ceramics art, there are several art workshops in the village of Margarites:

The tradition of the handmade pottery art goes back many generations in the village of Margarites and you can also see it at the traditional architecture in the streets. Here are some photo impressions:

I like such places. Colorful and maybe for some a little kitschy but interesting for me by the citizens who chose such a colorful and art way to earn money. Have you bought a ceramic souvenir for yourself? 😁
