We provide our guests the opportunity to enjoy a comprehensive gustatory-experiential experience, participating in the rich preparation and cooking activities of authentic traditional recipes; recipes that are a journey through the centuries of Cretan food history, from the Minoan era to today.

This rich offering of mother earth, with its wide variety of raw materials of high nutritional value, was used with imagination and wise economy, by the happy and open-hearted inhabitants of Crete, forming an excellent quality local cuisine, making the Cretan diet a model of health , richness and taste.

In a beautiful small village, in a traditional house surrounded by rare vegetation and olive trees, including an impressive 1000-year-old olive tree, learn to cook in the traditional Cretan way under the guidance of our experienced cooks, Eleni and Maria.

Live an authentic experience of cooking, tasting and cultural interaction in a magical environment. Collect vegetables and herbs from the garden for our dishes. All together, under the guidance of our experienced chefs, we will prepare the recipes by processing the pure local products: olive oil, vegetables, legumes, cheese, fish, meat, aromatic herbs, which we will then cook in ovens and in traditional fire pits using olive wood, at the same time we will have the opportunity to enjoy the unique experience of making traditional dough! Learn to cook organic local ingredients in clay pots over an open fire like the Minoans. Experience the richness of the Minoan culture and the colorful Cretan way of life.

With the completion of cooking, we will enjoy the delicious flavors of the dishes we made with our own hands, in a culinary experience that will include wine, dance, music and delightful surprises.
