点评:My partner, mum, grandmother and I spent much of May staying near Irida, and during that time we had the pleasure not only of admiring the exceptional craftsmanship and variety of their ceramics and bronze works, but also of getting to know the family behind them.
What makes Irida truly special to me is the passion, pride, and heart that go into every piece. I came to learn that their shop is a multigenerational family endeavor, spanning from Yiayia to grandson, and that sense of tradition and dedication shines through in everything they create.
Beyond their beautiful treasures, their generosity and hospitality are truly unmatched—or perhaps quintessentially Cretan! A visit to Irida is an opportunity to connect with wonderful people. Be sure to ask Kostas for recommendations on places to visit and where to find the best local food; his suggestions made our stay even more memorable.
We are deeply grateful for the friendship, and kindness we experienced and will always cherish our time there.
(And thank you for the delicious raki! 😉 We'll be in touch!)
Me agape,
Your friends from Canada,

翻译:五月的大部分时间,我和我的伴侣、妈妈、奶奶都待在伊里达附近。在那段时间里,我们不仅有幸欣赏到他们精湛的工艺和琳琅满目的陶瓷和青铜制品,还结识了背后的家族。
伊里达最让我印象深刻的是每一件作品中倾注的热情、自豪和心血。我了解到,他们的店铺是一家代代相传的家族企业,从祖母到孙子,这种传承和奉献的精神在他们的每一件作品中都熠熠生辉。
除了精美的艺术品,他们的慷慨和热情也堪称一流——或许这正是克里特岛的精髓所在!到伊里达拜访,就是一次与热情好客的人们建立联系的机会。一定要向科斯塔斯请教一些值得一去的地方和品尝当地美食的好去处;他的建议让我们的旅程更加难忘。
我们由衷感谢在那里感受到的友谊和善意,并将永远珍藏这段美好的时光。
(谢谢你们送的美味拉基酒!😉 我们会保持联系!)
