Hands-On Traditional Cretan Cooking Experience in Kritsa

О нас

Join our Traditional Cretan Cooking Class in the charming village of Kritsa and immerse yourself in the authentic flavors of Crete! Pick fresh, seasonal vegetables from our garden, prepare traditional dishes using our family’s extra virgin olive oil, and savor the delicious meal you’ve created. 

As part of your cooking class, you can choose between two unique culinary experiences: embrace the warmth of a traditional home-cooked Cretan meal, rich with time-honored family recipes, or celebrate the island’s vibrant vegetarian traditions with a flavorful, plant-based feast that highlights the freshest local ingredients.

This hands-on, interactive experience offers a unique opportunity to learn the secrets of Cretan cuisine while connecting with the island’s deep-rooted culinary traditions.
