The Aliathon Gallery is located at the popular Aliathon Resort in beautiful Paphos, Cyprus. It opened in 2014 by a group of local artists and is now owned and operated by me (Loucia Paraskeva).
My Vision
To support local artists and crafters by allowing them to create beautiful pieces for this beautiful gift shop and to create a unique shopping experience for all visitors.
I am always up for a challenge in life so life career of Advertising, Beauty Therapist and Spa Manager, Fragrance Sales and Management has proven priceless in entering the world of Arts and Crafts. I began making bath and body products in 2001 as a Beauty Therapist. In 2016 I joined the team at The Aliathon Gallery and soon found myself learning how to make jewellery, craft projects and artwork.
Our visitors mainly include guests from the surrounding hotels, especially from our lovely landlords The Aliathon Resort. We offer a very personal experience for each person whatever nationality as our visitors are from all over Europe and beyond. Being of Cypriot descent I speak fluent Greek, English and do my best with a little French and Italian!
