Participated in this experience with a family of 14 (9 adults and 5 children). This experience was the highlight of our trip from the United States. Cooking, experiencing the Cretan culture, and learning about Cretan history was amazing. I’d highly recommend this experience for anyone visiting Crete and the Chania region.

Being able to cook and interact with locals in the mountains of Crete was a lovely experience. Everything from the drive up to the home to the fresh ingredients used in the cooking experience to the history of Crete and Greece given by our tour guide was great. Highly recommend !

My favourite thing to do in Crete, Yiannis was extremely knowledgeable and the cooking class was super fun!
Can't wait to cook the recipes for my family back home :)
