Highlight of our Trip! - Veggera farm cooking class was a truly special experience for myself, husband, and our 8 year old son. We got to experience a slice of Greek village life with a lovely family who made us feel welcome as friends, not just customers. Sofia was a fabulous teacher, and almost every ingredient used was produced on the farm. The meal was incredibly delicious, the best we’ve had in Crete so far (which is really saying something since all the food has been wonderful!) We got to visit and feed all the animals, and meet most some of the extended family on a visit to Yayas house. This is a great experience for kids! My son wants to come work at the farm when he grows up.
Thank you all for inviting us in and sharing a piece of your life with us.

Amazing experience - This was an amazing experience! It was so much more than a cooking class. We were welcomed into the family. The farm sourced food was delicious!

Fantastic Family Farm - What a great experience! The food was great (and plentiful) and assembling the different dishes was so much fun. It was great meeting other guests from other countries and hearing about their travels.
The family from the farm were welcoming, hospitable and warm it was great hearing about their farm and activities. It was raining so we didn’t get to see the farm much, but had a great time. Highly recommend. I probably wouldn’t bring kids under 12 as they could get bored.

Authentic Crete Experience - Truly amazing experience. Sofia and her family are charming and inviting. Learning authentic recipes and cooking methods in an outdoor kitchen as well as touring the farm should not be missed.

This was an amazing day... - This was an amazing day spent on a family’s farm. We learned a lot about their own lives and family, how the farm works, the Create style of cooking and how much olive oil is really used! We were with one other family, so a good group of about 12-14 total, made several dishes all together and while they cooked had a tour of the farm, milked a goat (if we wanted to) they had baby bunnies, lots of chickens, all kinds of fruit trees. Just a wonderful relaxing day. Word of caution- as you arrive follow the signs for the farm, not your GPS- ours almost sent us into a man’s house! Same with the other group- Driving in Greece is no joke. Gave us a good joke for later.

Amazing local farm cooking experience - This was a WONDERFUL experience! The hosts were very gracious and super nice. Certainly a highlight of my Greece trip. The food was delicious and of course all made from scratch. In mid April we had perfect weather, and the view from the farm is amazing. Highly recommended!

Absolutel Highlight of Our Trip - We just spent one of the most enjoyable and special days in my recent memory. We spent a day at a Cretan family farm in the village of Stylos. The hosts, siblings Paraskevas & Sophia, were wonderful people. The day was Crete personified. Cooking outdoors in the wood fired oven, looking at the sun drenched (yet snow capped) White Mountains. Sipping homemade wine. Milking goats. Chasing chickens. Playing with puppies. Eating. Laughing. The sort of day you don't want to end. My Daughter summed it up best: "Dad, best day ever". These are beautiful people and we wish them nothing but the best with their lives & endeavours. Thanks are not enough.

Wonderful Cretan cooking class and farm visit. - Fabulous day. The cooking class and visit to the farm was a real treat. The tour provided time with a family in their home, preparing several dishes featuring locally sourced ingredients, farm tour, and a lunch with the dishes we prepared earlier. All in all a great way to experience Crete.

This experience will warm your heart and your belly! - This is a not-to-miss experience if you're traveling to Crete. We came in the off-season (Jan 2026) so as a result the day was cold and rainy, and nobody else had signed up. It didn't matter, Sofia and Paraskevos made a magical experience even though there was only the two of us! We had a blast learning to make traditional foods right in their own home's kitchen (due to the rain), hearing about the farm including the history and culture, and felt truly welcome and cared for.
We got to meet many other family members as well, and share in some Raki. The whole time, from beginning to end, felt very special and we feel very lucky to have gotten to share time and a meal and learn the true meaning of Veggera.
