Excellent Experience at Metochi Farms

Agi_T, Jul 2024

We highly recommend this cooking experience! Eleni and her mother were very gracious hosts prepared with everything ready to go upon arrival. We made a variety of dishes most of the ingredients coming from her farm. Very sustainable practices. We also got a tour of the farm and had an olive oil tasting. Once the food was cooked, we all ate together enjoying every morsel. Great experience! See attached photos.

A warm and welcoming experience

Neil_G, May 2024

This was one of the best travel experiences I have had. From the moment we arrived at their home, Mrs Chrisoula (aka Mom) and Eleni were incredibly hospitable and gracious. The recipes they taught us to make are simple and delicious. The tour of the farm was an excellent education and the explanation of the processes for making their olive oil and wine was interesting. I highly recommend this experience.

Phenomenal experience

David_J, Mar 2024

This experience was fantastic. The host has a beautiful property in a great part of Crete. Everything is fresh from the farm and luscious. It was a wonderful evening with an incredible meal and people. I could not have asked for anything better. I plan to do this your again someday with the rest if my family. I highly recommend it.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Dear David! thank you so much for your visit and for your kind review! We would be very happy to host you again in the future! Best regards Eleni
