I'm inspired by Greek culture, I can't stop having ideas. It's so beautiful and magical. I live in Crete and my daughter and me started in Crete a Mosaic Workshop. Enjoy life with passion.

[@HelenMilesMosaics]

I quite agree that there is so much to learn from Greek culture. I hope you enjoy the mosaic workshop. 😀

Wonderful, thank you. I visited Thessaloniki for a wedding, unaware this museum was there. This gives me a reason to go back. I did happen upon the Lion of Amphipoli by accident, which was a highlight.

[@HelenMilesMosaics]

Definitely a reason to go back. That lion is amazing, isn't it?!

I’m a descendant of the Byzantine Emperor’s. So sad it’s generally empty. This is so gorgeous.

[@HelenMilesMosaics]

That's a very cool ancestry! 😀

That was great Helen. I am annoyed that I didn't go there when I was in Thessaloniki in October !!!!

[@HelenMilesMosaics]

You certainly missed a good one!
