Recommendations and reviews
Fantastic Greek cooking class! The hosts were engaging, clear, and made it fun for our teens (11 & 13) and the whole family.We laughed, learned, and cooked delicious food — highly recommend!
A great day experiencing authentic, local Greek cuisine. Highly recommend
Nina and her family are very welcoming and kind. The activity is comprehensive and varied, with visits to the farm and the surrounding area.
This was the most enjoyable thing we did in our four day stay on Naxos. We had a rental car and driving down the road to the taverna from the main road was a little scary. The host offered to drive us back up the hill afterwards, but it was not necessary. But we had a most wonderful time there. It was very well organized, and fun with about 20 people in our group. The cooking experience and the tour of the farm were both very interesting. The food we afterwards ate was delicious, with prep done as a group with all fresh ingredients from their farm. They produce their own white and red wines, which were both freely available and also delicious. Dancing at the end with breaking plates was the icing on the cake. Highly recommend this.
Our family loved this cooking class! The brother and sister team that run the class are fifth generation owners of the farm and they are the loveliest people. We enjoyed learning how to make traditional Greek dishes as well as the historical tour of the farm. We would highly recommend to anyone looking for an activity that allows you to see into the traditional life of Naxos. Our teenagers aged 18 and 15 enjoyed as much as we did!!
Anna is a wonderful and warm host. We spent an unforgettable afternoon with her family, discovering not only the beauty of the island but also learning many exciting stories about its inhabitants. With her open manner and extensive knowledge, Anna managed to give us a very special insight into the island. We felt completely at home and welcome. An experience we can warmly recommend to everyone.
Amazing food and tour!
We loved the tour of the property where we could pick vegetables and learn about the history. Lots of fun at the end where we learnt Greek dances and got to smash a plate. The food was very tasty
