This place is so much more than just some regular souvenir shop. In Nika’s atelier you can see whole process how all these tiny beautiful houses and other souvenirs are made. Nika is very friendly, and we had very nice chat with her. You can spend a lot of time here, since every piece is unique and very precise piece of hand made artwork made of driftwood.
