Mediterranean/Greek Organic Cooking Classes with International Awards Winning Chef

Sobre nosotros

Our half a day cooking classes are a vibrant mix of classical and updated versions of the Greek/Mediterranean cuisine. We cook only with organic seasonal ingredients, which often come directly from our garden. All seafood and fish are wild and supplied by local fishermen from the village. Poultry and meat are from certified organic suppliers as well.

Just 10 min drive from Nafplio, the state of the art culinary school is located on the top of the mountain with mesmerizing views of Tolo bay and nearby islands.

The lay-out of individual stations was designed to provide line of sight for maximum user’s experience. Every student has his own spacious workstation with all the necessary equipment, so cooking is actually experienced and learned as opposed to just observing.

All devices are of one of the best names in the market of home appliances and students can easily replicate dishes at home. No expense has been spared in the entire design of the school. The number of stations is limited to 8 to ensure the maximum quality of the culinary experience and learning.
