This class was the highlight of our trip to Crete and something we'll remember for a long time. The atmosphere was fantastic, as were the recipes and the dinner at the end (with plenty of raki!) We couldn't have asked for a better instructor - she was an absolute wealth of knowledge not just on the local cuisine but also Cretan history and culture as well.

Athens Cooking Day Tours

A delightful hands-on cooking lesson and dinner; be initiated by the Chef into Greek cooking secrets with easy instructions and plenty of “hands on” preparation and cooking. But the best of all is the sumptuous dinner that you will have with the rest of your “classmates” at the end of the lesson.

Reviewed By altadean - Athens, Greece

I took this cooking course with my family and boyfriend while visiting Athens and had an incredible time learning simple yet elegant and traditional Greek dishes from chef Sophia. We made 7 unique dishes and I walked away with new techniques to try in my own kitchen! The course was fast paced and exciting with everyone actively participating and Sophia made the course special by incorporating methods she learned from the women in her family. I believe cooking is a great way to really immerse oneself in the culture of a country and I highly recommend this cooking school as we had a phenomenal evening drinking wine, conversing and making beautiful Greek dishes. The restaurant itself is beautiful with a stunning view of the acropolis and the wait staff are also incredible and perfectly complimented the evening we had!

Cretan Traditional Cooking Lessons

Reviewed By matalaman - Scotland, United Kingdom

I've been to Crete at least a dozen times. The people are wonderful, the culture fascinating, the landscape awe-inspiring and the food, the food - fabulous. I've been to many parts of the island - Maria, Stalis, Bali and Georgiopolis in the north, Matala and Agia Galini in the south and Kalo Nero in the south east where friends lived for a few years. I've visited caves and churches, gorges and beaches and several ancient sites. This year, I went further west. From Kissamos, we took a Cretan Cookery course. Picked up by mini-bus from our rented villa we spent five hours with a multi-national like-minded group of 11 people learning how to prepare a dozen or so Cretan dishes. Taught by a wonderful mother and daughter team (one a great cook, one with great English) we then had a tour of the farm / love groves / herb garden / wine store before enjoying the fruits of our labours. Later, the recipes were emailed to us. This was truly a highlight of all my times on Crete.

Eco Events

We specialize in creating unique experiences, such as organizing excursions to remote traditional villages, so to give to our visitors the opportunity to interact with the locals and learn about their culture and habits. We invite you to witness the activities of the genuine Cretan life, such as harvesting soil and producing traditional products like wine, raki, cheese, traditional rusks, honey, olive oil... the list goes on! We always try to give our guests a warm experience, therefore most of our excursions are in small groups; that is because we value the personal feeling that mass tourism fails to deliver. Apart from daily trips to villages and natural landscapes, we give our guests the opportunity to organize a trip that will suit them 100%. By getting in contact, we can discuss and design the perfect one-day or multi-day trip for you. Therefore, we can personalize every experience depending on the taste, the wishes and the needs of each of our visitors.
