Amazing and Personal - Unforgettable. Nikos and Alex were such delightful hosts, not just for cooking, but also for conversation, and a history lesson too. We were a (very!) small class due to the off-season, so we had time to talk more, but I think even in the busy season it would have been amazing as well. This was the highlight of our trip.

Amazing Cooking Experience - This was one of the most fun and enjoyable experiences of our trip to Crete. From the moment you showed up, you felt as if you were invited to a family member's house to cook and enjoy a nice Cretan lunch. If you are in Chania, you have to make sure and book this class.

Wonderful class taught by an amazing family - One of the highlights of our trip! Veerna and her family are all wonderful, kind, and so much fun to work with. You not only learn some wonderful new skills, but also about the land, its history, and all of the beautiful and useful plants in the garden. We did the bread class and I am so excited to make my first loaf at home this weekend. Looking forward to taking the cooking class on our next visit.

Must do when visiting Chania - What a delightful, authentic experience. Made the most delicious sourdough which was served with an array of Creatian specialities….we had to cancel dinner afterwards as were so full. The hosts Nikos and Alex were excellent, what a lovely family to spend time with. They answered all our questions about life in Crete and it felt like having lunch with old friends. If you are looking to do something away from the usual tourist attractions book their sourdough class.

wonderful experience that will stay with us for a long time - We took part in the sourdough bread baking class and are completely thrilled! The atmosphere was incredibly pleasant – warm, relaxed and full of joy. The hosts are simply magical and made us feel welcome from the first moment. The location is an absolute dream: among olive trees, animals and a real stone oven. Preparing the bread together was not only educational, but also really beautiful – and the freshly baked bread from the wood-fired oven was a treat! The prepared side dishes prepared during the course were also delicious. Overall, a wonderful experience that will stay with us for a long time. Highly recommended!

A true Cretan experience - This was the best part of our trip! Highly recommend this class. The guide (and the entire family) was friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel welcome. The food was incredible. The tour of their local olive farm was also a nice addition. If you’re on the fence, please book, you won’t regret it.

A truly worthwhile experience - This cooking class was a truly authentic experience. The atmosphere was relaxed, with beautiful surroundings. It is a family-run business and the hosts are friendly and full of lively conversation and information about Cretan culture and history. The food was delicious! You get a proper meal out of this class, so don't book dinner afterwards. There are also some very cute animals you get to meet on the property including puppies, sheep and chickens.

From the first moment feeling like one big family - My sour dough bread experience was amazing!! From the time of pick up to drop off was nothing but feeling like part of a family. They had you get involved right off the bat and the time flew by so fast because it was involvement, learning, experience, tasting, laughter, and just total FUN. All this came easy for the instructors involved. You could tell “they” were having fun as well. Totally natural for them. I will definitely pass this on to anyone I know going to Chania, or Crete for that matter. A forever remembered experience in my life. I hope I get to go again one day.
