This is an amazing, deeply personal cooking class! Maria and her whole crew and family were truly amazing to spend the day with and get to know! Any trip to Paros would not be complete without having this experience with family and friends!
What a great experience we had at Maria’s cooking school! The staff worked together to make the afternoon flow smoothly ; the music and wine flowed too! Food turned out excellent and with the recipes already in my inbox I’m looking forward to recreating the food when we return home.
This was the highlight of our trip! We loved Maria and everyone at Anezina Village. The cooking lesson was so engaging. Everything was organized for a larger crowd and moved along nicely. We made so many great friends and lots of great food!

This class far exceeded our expectations! It came highly recommended from many people and we were not disappointed!
Vivienne and her staff could not have been more welcoming, patient, and engaging. We learned many different dishes, laughed, ate, danced, and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it!
Everything was delicious and we all felt we could recreate the recipes after the class!
We all highly recommend this class!

The best cooking class I have ever taken! Maria and her family were so kind and welcoming, vibes were high, wine was endless, and food was incredible! 10/10

We are delighted that the vibrant atmosphere, delicious dishes, and wine made for such an unforgettable time in Paros. Thank you for booking with us, and safe travels on your future adventures! 🥂💙
This was a fun experience but not what I was expecting. If you are looking to really learn and be really hands on this might not be the class for you. There were so many people in this class I found it hard to actually do things and participate in the prep and cooking unless you were aggressive about it. They also had pre-prepped a lot of the food so we were doing very small simple tasks instead of learning step by step recipes. The class was also listed as 4 hours long but we were completely done eating and people were leaving after 3 hours. The staff was really great and made the experience fun, and everything we ate was amazing, but I felt like there were way too many people to feel like I was actually learning anything here.
What a joyful experience! Such a fun thing to do and Maria and her lovely staff were fabulous! I was celebrating a milestone birthday and they presented me with a delicious Tiramisu ice cream cake! Highly recommend
Response from Host, Sept 2026
Happy Belated Milestone Birthday! 🎂🎉 As excursion organizers, creating special, joyful memories is what we live for. We are so thrilled that Maria and her fantastic team made your birthday celebration so memorable with the customized cake and cooking class. Thank you for choosing our experience to celebrate in Paros, and we wish you a wonderful year ahead! 🥂✨
Wow! This program was exceptional. Maria, the chef and her team were fantastic. We had a group of 15 and we all Help them prepare all the dishes about 7:00 or eight of them. And it was one of the highlights of hardship.
Response from Host, Aug 2026

A really fun and well organized cooking class. We made 7 dishes with a class of 16. The outdoor setting is wonderful and you get more than 60 recipes to take home. Lots of wine to accompany the class. I took the class with my 16 year olds and they loved it!
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you so much for this fantastic review! 🍽️✨ We are absolutely thrilled to hear that both you and your 16-year-olds had such a great time. It can sometimes be a challenge to find activities that teenagers truly love, so knowing they enjoyed cooking our 7 dishes is the best compliment we could receive! We love using our beautiful outdoor setting to share the joy of Greek food, and we are so glad you appreciated the recipe booklet and the wine flow. We hope you all have a blast recreating those 60+ recipes together back home! Thank you for joining Maria's class!
Very interactive, and fun! Food was excellent. Wine and conversation with new friends flowed all night.
This is a must do!
Response from Host, May 2026
