My partner and I really enjoyed Seikilo! The staff were very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable and gave us a tour and explanation (including some history and Greek mythology) of the instruments and even demonstrated each one expertly! We were allowed to play on every instrument and the staff member gave us tips how best to hold and play them. We also enjoyed the ancient Greek boardgames. The staff even indulged us and played one of the shorter games with my partner. Highly recommend!

We visited this wee art gallery in July 2020 and we couldn't decide what to buy as every single piece of art in the shop is so unique and beautiful. I loved the shop and visited it every single day during our 7-day-holiday in Hanioti!! We ended up buying three pieces of the amazing and full of inspiration mosaics for our walls!! We live in the UK and two of the pieces had to take special permission from the Greek National Gallery and were then sent abroad. The whole process took very little time and they arrived in the UK in about 2-3 weeks from the time of purchase. The owners who were responsible for the aforementioned process were very kind to inform us about the stages of the process. This shop is one of its kind. It's probably the most inspiring art gallery we've ever visited! A plus is that the owners are professional, kind, honest and discrete! Thank you for your amazing work that is now on our walls! Thank you for being so patient and discrete when we couldn't decide which mosaic to buy! And also thank you that the process went so smoothly!
