Assia Pottery Worskhop and Batroun Tour: A Day of Culture and Craft
Assia Pottery Workshop & Batroun Tour: A Day of Culture, Craft & Charm
Experience a perfect blend of history, creativity, and local flavor as you explore the coastal charm of Batroun and the cultural richness of Assia — all in one unforgettable day.
The adventure begins in Batroun, a city steeped in heritage. First, stroll through its vibrant old souk, where every alley has a story to tell. Then, visit iconic landmarks such as the Saint Stephen Church, the ancient Phoenician Wall, and the formidable Batroun Fortress. In short, it’s a place where history comes alive at every turn.
Afterward, the journey continues to Assia, a picturesque village nestled in the hills. Known for its peaceful ambiance and archaeological sites, Assia offers much more than just beautiful views. In fact, the village holds centuries-old relics — including sarcophagi, historic churches, and traditional olive and grape presses.
Next, delve into the traditional art of pottery. A local artisan will guide you through techniques passed down through generations. Moreover, you’ll get the chance to shape your own creation during a hands-on workshop. If you wish, you can also purchase handmade pottery as a meaningful souvenir.
Finally, the day ends with a warm and hearty homemade lunch, lovingly prepared by locals. This delicious meal offers a true taste of Lebanese hospitality and a perfect moment to relax and reflect.
