Handmade gifts from Corinthia: candles, natural cosmetics and embroidery
ArticleIf you want to take home something from Corinthia that you will not find in every souvenir shop, the region has small workshops that make everything by hand: candles, soaps and creams, embroidered art. Here are four of them, in Kiato, Vrachati and Riza.
The businesses in this article are Visit Corinthia partners. We describe them using what they say about their own work — opening hours and prices change, so check each one’s page before you go.
Candles and home fragrances
Eunoia candle — Kiato
At 36 Kleisthenous Street, Eunoia candle makes handmade natural candles — each one “a small work of art”, in their own words. The collection includes scented candles, diffusers and more.
Lily’s world — Kiato
At 14 Periandrou Street, Lily’s world makes handcrafted soy and rapeseed candles, designed as “a sanctuary for the senses” — more than a decorative piece.
Natural cosmetics
Root nature cosmetics — Riza
In Xyleri Valtou, Riza, Root creates skincare with natural ingredients: soaps, fragrances and creams, made in small batches so they stay fresh.
Embroidery that looks like painting
Velonozografies — Vrachati
At 84 P. Tsaldari Street in Vrachati, Velonozografies creates handmade pieces where the needle becomes a brush and the thread turns into colour — art that blends painting with craftsmanship.
And something for the table
Corinthia is also currants, olive oil, honey and Nemea wine — see our guide to local products of Corinthia. And if you are in Kiato, have a look at where to eat in Kiato.
