Our favourite shop in Side by a mile! Stunning ceramics& jewellery by a completely charming couple. No rushing or hard sell and the prices were excellent for the quality handmade items. Would highly recommend to stop off here for a drink while you shop for souvenirs and something for yourself! We’ll see you guys next time

Great local shop for gifts. Different to the other ‘touristy’ shops in Side. Had a chat with Sule who was very friendly and gave a bit of info about Side and his own family’s history in the town. Made some good recommendations for local restaurants in the area. Highly recommend a visit to say hi and check out their wares!

Stumbled upon this hidden gem while momentarily disoriented and were offered directions by the proprietor. Do yourself a favour and give the crap tourist-trinket shops a miss and check out this friendly oasis just off the main streets. Original art, a quiet drink, and welcoming hosts. Highlight of our stay in amazing Side old town. Cheapest rosé in town. Don't miss it.
