our story so far
Let us introduce ourselves
We are Manolis and Paraskevi.
In August 2007 we decided to leave Athens and settle in a village in Crete, called Angeliana. Our way of life gradually changed when we came to possess our own kitchen garden and a field with olive grove.
Experimenting with the raw materials in hand we made our first soap.
Athos workshop
Excited by our small success and urged by friends and relatives, we decided to keep on trying and making progress. Thus, we have created a workshop of handmade natural personal care products in Angeliana, Rethymnon named "Athos"
Creation
In the oral Cretan dialect, "Athos" means blossom. For us, the blossom symbolizes the creation, the evolution, the completion. In "Athos" workshop, based on organic Cretan extra virgin olive oil, in combination with pure raw materials of the Cretan land, herbs and essential (ethereal) oils, we create soaps, creams and herbal extracts.
Desire
All our products are made wholly in our workshop in Angeliana, a village in Rethymnon Prefecture. Everything is prepared in small quantities to ensure the excellent quality of the final products.
Our desire is to care for people in absolute harmony with nature.
