A very interesting experience, but the most important thing is Stamatia's kindness and the welcome we received when we arrived at her home. We also ate all the dishes we prepared with complimentary wine. Definitely worth repeating.
My wife Conny and I participated in this wonderful Cretan cooking course. During our stay in Crete, we wanted to experience something authentic that would show us the island's true character – and that's exactly what we found here. We received a warm welcome upon arrival and immediately felt at ease. Stamatia patiently, passionately, and warmly guided us through the world of Cretan cuisine. Particularly impressive. We were treated to traditional cheese making, tasting high-quality olive oil, and many interesting stories about life and traditions in Crete. Everything was done in a relaxed, family-like atmosphere, so we not only learned a lot but also enjoyed every minute. The meal we shared at the end was a real highlight - fresh, delicious and prepared with lots of love. For us, this was far more than a Cooking class. It was an encounter with Cretan culture, its people, and their renowned hospitality. We would repeat this experience anytime and can wholeheartedly recommend it to every visitor to Crete. Thank you so much for this special and unforgettable day!
My name is Hilde, and together with my husband, we participated in this wonderful workshop during our vacation in Crete. We are from Belgium and were looking for an authentic experience beyond the typical tourist activities. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcome, as if we were part of the family. Stamatia shared not only delicious traditional recipes but also stories about Cretan life, culture, and local traditions. Learning about the food, cheese making, and olive oil production was both fascinating and enjoyable. The highlight was undoubtedly sitting down to enjoy the meal we had prepared ourselves, accompanied by local wine and genuine Cretan hospitality. This was much more than a cooking class—it was a unique cultural experience that brought us closer to the real Crete. We highly recommend this activity to anyone who wants to experience the authentic atmosphere and hospitality of Crete. Thank you, Stamatia, for an unforgettable day.
We received a warm welcome from her upon arrival. With enthusiasm, passion and patience, she guided us through Cretan cuisine. In a relaxed and family-like atmosphere, we learned a lot of interesting things, and of course we also lent a hand ourselves when cooking together. We enjoyed it until the very last minute. The meal we shared at the end was a real highlight; everything was fresh, delicious, and prepared with love. Many thanks to Stamatia for this wonderful experience; every Crete holidaymaker should experience this at least once. We would love to come back again!!
