Book it!

Katerina is wonderful! She has such a lovely spirit and a sweet spot to hold the class. We enjoyed a little baking, a lot of eating, and a new experience of taste testing olive oil.

She also gave us some fantastic restaurant and food recommendations around the island. You won't regret booking with her!

Walking Tour and Cooking Class on Naxos with Local Market Visit

An Adventurous Stroll through Naxos!

We visited Naxos for the first time on or honeymoon. Sometimes tours can feel "touristy" .. well, not this one. It was an incredibly rich way of getting to know Naxos as we winded through the town, shopped a local market and made a few other pit stops like the cheese tasting that were equally delicious and fun. We walked away feeling closer to the Greek culture and I'm excited to make some of the dishes we learned to cook at home. Shoutout to our tour guide and big thanks!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience — The Heart and Soul of Greece! 🇬🇷❤️

Where do I even begin?! This experience was everything I had hoped for and SO much more! If you are looking for a truly authentic Greek experience, one that goes beyond sightseeing and allows you to connect with the people, traditions, and heart of Greece, THIS IS IT!! From the moment we arrived, we felt like we were being welcomed into someone’s home rather than attending a cooking class. Gabriel, the father of the family, shared the beautiful history of their farm, which was passed down to him from his father. We learned that Gabriel was once a famous violinist who traveled throughout Greece performing with his two brothers. Not only did he give us a tour of the farm and help prepare our meal, but he also played his violin and sang for us. It was such a heartfelt and moving experience! His son Petros and daughter-in-law Katerina were equally wonderful. Katerina was truly the hostess with the mostest! Her warmth, enthusiasm, and wonderful English made everyone feel instantly comfortable and connected. We walked through the farm, picked fresh vegetables for our meal, and cooked alongside Gabriel’s wife, learning traditional recipes and experiencing a way of life that has been passed down through generations. And then came the magic! We gathered around the table to enjoy the most incredible homemade Greek food. We shared stories, laughed, shed happy tears, listened to beautiful music, and danced traditional Greek dances together. It wasn’t just a cooking experience. It was a celebration of family, food, music, tradition, and life. Of all the beautiful places we’ve visited in Greece, this experience will forever hold a special place in my heart. It reminded me that the most meaningful part of traveling isn’t always the places you see, but the people you meet and the memories you create together. To Gabriel, Petros, Katerina, and the entire family, THANK YOU for opening your home and hearts to us. You gave us a memory we will cherish forever. This experience exceeded every expectation, and I genuinely hope our paths cross again someday! If you’re visiting Naxos, don’t hesitate to book this. Come with an open heart, and prepare to leave with a full stomach, beautiful memories, and perhaps even a few happy tears ❤️🇬🇷

Experience Marble Carving

Chase_C, Oct 2026

Highly recommended activity if you're looking for something unique to do

Absolutely worth booking this experience as it's a really cool way to get out of the touristy hustle and bustle, plus you end up with a really cool piece of art to take home. Maggie does an excellent job in coaching you to make sure you have a piece of art to be proud of. However, I would absolutely recommend that if your art piece ends up have a pointed/sharp corner that airport security may give you grief and have you check your bag vs keeping it in your carry-on.

Kourounochori, Naxos Gregory's Traditional Cooking Class

Callie_L, Oct 2026

Amazing cooking class and town tour

Myself, my Mom, and Aunt attended a cooking class with Anna. It was amazing! Anna is so lovely. She taught us to make 4 dishes and provided the recipes after, it was all delicious! While the food was cooking we took a tour of the town and Anna told us about the history. We then sat outside with a stunning view and ate our meals with some delicious wine. It was an excellent experience if you are in Naxos, we highly recommend!

Citron Tasting and Citron-Based Cocktail Masterclass

Amazing experience

This experience was lots of fun, Sophia made it so. Highly recommend everyone gives this a try with a friend or a group of friends. Recommend transfer option or a taxi to let your hair down and thoroughly enjoy this experience. We walked away with many goodies from the shop afterwards and will continue to spread the word. I would come back and do it all over again next time I visit. (I don’t recommend walking or bus options)
