LARNACA WORKSHOP FIELD GUIDE
Scent Keepers of Larnaca: Hands‑on Botanical Workshops with a Local Herbalist
A four‑hour, guided botanical experience in a peaceful Larnaca park — sensory walks, a live distillation demo and two artisan workshops that let you craft and take home Cypriot fragrances.
Scent Keepers of Larnaca: Hands‑on Botanical Workshops with a Local Herbalist.
Set within a tranquil botanical park in Larnaca, The Herbalist's Botanical Workshops are a hands‑on exploration of plants, fragrance and traditional craftsmanship. Guided by an experienced herbalist, the program pairs a sensory garden walk and a demonstration of essential‑oil distillation with two practical workshops in which participants create a personalised aromatherapy roll‑on and learn to make the island’s scented Oiselets de Chypre—returning home with both handmade items and a limited‑edition copy of Slow Cyprus Magazine: The Origins of Scent.
