Great dining experience 👩‍🍳🧑‍🍳🌸 - Great cooking class! We were very well received in this beautiful kitchen and we had a private lesson to learn how to make a moussaka and tzatziki, participating in every step but not left to ourselves - which allowed us to feast afterwards. After the cooking class (not too long or too short), we ate on the terrace of the restaurant, with a beautiful view and quality service! Thank you again for this great experience 👩‍🍳

Great experience - Very good time in the kitchens of Irini where we cooked a dish and a side. We were 4 adults (only our group). It was not too long (the cooking session lasted about 1 hour then we had lunch on the terrace). It was very fun and very warm.

Lovely cooking class with great insights - If you want to really learn some interesting tricks on greek cuisine you must do this class. We did Fava and Moussaka and really learned some new things how to do it really good. Thanks to the team for a great experience.

Best Activity In The Greek Islands - The best activity we have done in the Greek Islands! We were greeted very warmly by the staff and received a delicious strawberry & lemon iced drink on arrival, as they prepared the kitchen. All the staff and the chef were incredibly polite and warm. The cooking was so much fun and the dish we cooked tasted amazing!! After the activity, we spent the remainder of the day at the hotel using their pool which was awesome because our accomodation did not have one. I give this activity a 10/10 and would recommend it to all ages.

Amazing! - Such a fun experience to have with our group of friends. Not only did we learn how to make two wonderful dishes, Irene answered any and all questions we had about the area, the history and their family hotel. Must do when in Amorgos!

Very Disappointing - I was so looking forward to this experience. The facilities were beautiful and the staff were friendly. That said, the class was very disappointing. We only spent maybe an hour actually in the kitchen. Not 2 1/2 hours as described. Also the sauce for the Pastitsio was already prepared. We had no idea what ingredients were used not the process in making it. Most of our time was spent chopping onions and garlic... not a huge learning stretch! The rest of our time was spent in the lobby waiting on the pasta dish to cook. We did make the tzatziki sauce but that was very easy and nothing new. Finally, we were told not to take pencil or paper into the kitchen since they would provide the recipes. It has been 6 weeks and we have yet to receive anything from them. Could I make the petition for my family now... NO. I have no ideas how to make the sauce. Very very disappointing.
