This cooking class was, without a doubt, our favorite experience from our entire trip to Greece. As someone of Greek descent, I especially appreciated how authentic everything felt. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed like family, and it was clear we weren't just learning recipes. We were being taught the family meals and traditions that have been passed down through generations. The experience went far beyond cooking. While our dishes simmered, we toured the family farm, met all of the animals, and even had the chance to milk a goat. It gave us such a deeper appreciation for where the ingredients came from and the way of life that makes Cretan cuisine so special. We also walked to the host's grandmother's house, where she welcomed us with freshly baked cookies straight from the oven. It felt less like a class and more like spending the day with family. The quality of the ingredients was incredible. The goat cheese had been made the day before from fresh goat's milk, and the vegetables were picked straight from the garden. Every dish reflected the freshness and simplicity that define traditional Cretan cooking. What made this experience even more unique was that we weren't just learning Greek recipes. We were learning authentic Cretan dishes that are unique to the island and its culinary traditions. If you're visiting Crete, do not miss this experience. It is authentic, immersive, and full of genuine hospitality. We left with full stomachs, new cooking skills, and memories we'll cherish forever. It was easily the highlight of our trip to Greece.

This tour was great! It was so nice to sit back and enjoy the itinerary (without having to plan it myself). We saw many fabulous places with so much history. Our guide, Stavros, was a wealth of knowledge and provided us with a lot of information and mythology about the various spots. Hotels were very comfortable and food was tasty. Definitely a great way to see more of Greece.

So easy and comfortable. Giannis was waiting for us outside baggage claim with a sign as advertised. He helped us with our bags and loaded up the spacious and comfortable Mercedes van. We were a group of 5. He had waters for us and we were able to make it from airport to hotel in Athens in 40 minutes. I would definitely book again!
