Duration 3 hours

Show Gallery

Cuisine is a way of life. It is simple without extra spices or flavour enhancers but only with a great amount of imagination.

If you are interested in Cretan cuisine, Greek food or you just love cooking, we invite you to participate in the Cretan traditional cooking lessons that are hosted in our home, in a small, traditional village close to the town of Rethymno we have cooked for many many years. In our garden, we cultivate organic vegetables and fruits for our needs. You can enjoy Cretan cuisine because We like to take care of our land and produce our own olive oil.

Take a cooking class in Crete, forge connections with locals, and explore their profound knowledge of regional delicacies in the charming Cretan village. Dive into the heart of Cretan cuisine by hand-selecting the finest local products, beginning with a warm welcome in an open kitchen area.

Open kitchen on a flower-adorned terrace. Craft traditional dishes under the guidance of an experienced cook, and savour a delightful homemade lunch in a breathtaking setting, complemented by unlimited servings of exceptional local wine.
