quotes

In Pyrgos, look closely at the doorways and cemetery sculptures, not just the workshops. Marble carving is part of everyday village life here, and some of the finest details appear in lintels, fountains, family plaques, and small decorative corners. After your workshop, ask your guide to point out the older motifs, since they reveal how craft, religion, and local identity are woven together.
