Athens: the birthplace of the amphora

11 locations
Athens and craftsmanship have always gone hand in hand. In an environment where the city nurtures artistic experimentation, ancient Greek artisans created the first amphorae – storing jars made of ceramics, metal and stone. On our itinerary you will find ceramicists and silversmiths who imitate classical techniques, while modernising the shape and form of this ancient vessel.
