Hello Miriam
I was in Crete in 2006 and took some photos of lace there. Some in a shop in
Chania and some in the village of Fodele. This is where El Greco was born
and a lovely village with craft stalls along the street. The women there do
a lot of macrame and tatting. I did not see much bobbin lace but lots of
embroidery and linen.

I met Christina Koukoulari in Groningen at the OIDFA Congress last year. As
far as I know, she lives in Chania in Crete. She told me she had family in
Gavalohori where I had a meal in a restaurant when staying with my sister in
Plaka. I hope someone has her address, she is a lovely person and I am sure
she would be very welcoming, as all Greek people seem to be.
Hope you enjoy the trip

I have just booked a flight to Crete . Those of you who took the OIDFA
trip to Crete, could you please recommend lace related places there.
I have 7 days there and want to get in as much as possible.
Does any one of you have the address for Christina Koukoulari who was the
bobbin lace teacher at OIDFA/Athens?
Does she live on Crete?
Any suggestions will be most welcome.
