We had such a lovely time with the knowledgable Yannis and his colleagues who made... read more us feel very welcome and shared their clear passion for Cretan food and history. A wonderful meal under the stars that we helped to prepare, came away feeling humbled, well informed and very well fed!

Thank you for a wonderful evening.

  The entire experience was amazing! From the moment we met Giannis we were in for a treat. He is so incredibly knowledgeable and very easy to get along with.

  This trip was everything we expected - and more! My sister and I had a fab afternoon/evening. Yanis? Our driver/guide/translator was so knowledgeable and quite a character. He was so... read more much fun! We started off admiring the remarkable views, took a few photos and then adorned aprons, gloves and masks (Covid requirements) and our food preparations started, guided by our tutor and instructions translated by Yanis. When everything went in the oven Yanis took us to feed the goats. After that we went to an amazing room full of photos and historical artefacts for cheese and wine tasting. After our fill of wine we went into another room and Yanis showed us some very interesting and old farm tools, demonstrated how to weave and also how to grind flour - the old fashion way! He also showed off his skill at Greek dancing. By this time our food was all laid out and we tucked into the most delicious food - prepared by our own fair hands! Wonderful! I would highly recommend this trip - it's well worth the price.

The scenery cannot be beat. The best cooking experience I ever had. Will recommend to anyone going to Crete.
