EscapeRooms.Gr are the new fashion beginning abroad and now in Heraklion too. It's an alternative view of the realistic game and fun through teamwork! Enjoy the experience of escape with time as the opponent! Using your mind, you have to solve the puzzles, to find the keys and the passwords, and to manage to escape inside the time limit!

Based on the difficulty levels, we chose the Holy Secret room. The clues were not too easy, and it required some skill as well. When we became stuck, the talented game master gave helpful clues to move us along in the right pace. Very interesting riddles and great actors making the whole experience even more exciting!

Maria Sanoudaki Ceramic - Art Studio

Currently open by appointment only. Please do not hesitate to contact with us. Maria Sanoudaki Ceramic│Art Studio is a local studio based in the traditional village of Old Chersonisos in the island of Crete. You will find me in a traditional stone dwelling that used to be the house of my great-grandparents. In my studio you can discover unique handmade ceramic dishes, pots, home decor and elegant ceramic jewelry. Trying to find the sources of my roots, my work is inspired by the folk and ancient art of Crete combined with my constant research on contemporary and abstract art. Each item in the store is unique and handmade. I use different throwing techniques to create wheel-formed ceramic work as well as pottery hand-building techniques; that’s why each item may be slightly different. You are welcome to visit my studio, feel the cretan hospitality and see my art, which is made with love and imagination.

Irida Minoan art workshop

For over 4,000 years, the Minoan civilization demonstrated its love for life and nature with classy paintings, on almost anything, from pots to residences and palaces. They even exported their artwork to the entire then known world. Until in 1650 B.C., the great volcanic explosion of Santorini, destroyed the first European civilization, namely the Minoan. In our workshop, you can still experience the ancient art of Minoan painting, from the hands of local Cretan artists, creating museum copies. You can find us in the beautiful, traditional village of Peza at Irida, only a few kilometers away from Knossos.
