Top Naxos Cooking Classes

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. Katerina is knowledgeable about olive and olive oil and will share a good bit with you. We really enjoyed the balance of activity/experience and learning new things. She also gave us some fantastic restaurant and food recommendations around the island. You won't regret booking with her!

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!

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 ❤️🇬🇷
