Authentic Soapmaking Experience & Tour in Crete | by Helleo
Overview
Just 5 km from the Palace of Knossos, Helleo is a small, family-run soap lab founded by Manos and Stelios — two friends who’ve been crafting premium sustainable soaps since 2013.
Come for a friendly chat, good music, and a glimpse into authentic Cretan life. Learn how we transform our family’s fresh extra-virgin olive oil with herbs, fruits, spices, and clays into some of the purest, most ethical and creative soaps out there.
Whether you join a shared demo or a private workshop where you can even craft and receive your own soaps, you’ll enjoy an authentic local experience and get a real taste of the diversity of Crete!
