Worth It!

Published on Nov, 2024

This was an authentic and unforgettable Cretan experience. Visiting in November, we had the advantage of a small group, which made it even more special. Step by step, we learned to prepare a variety of traditional recipes in a warm, familial, and comfortable setting. The guide, hosts, and cook were exceptional, making the entire experience truly worthwhile. Highly recommend!

Fun and delicious

Yanis was an excellent guide, very friendly and knowledgeable, our hosts lovely, and the other guests great company. The views from the house were 100% worth the short drive up the mountain. And preparing the food was a good change from just eating out. Fun and delicious too! Highly recommend the tour.

Family style meal prep and lunch.
