A true Cretan experience

Bryan_P, Oct 2025

This was the best part of our trip! Highly recommend this class. The guide (and the entire family) was friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel welcome. The food was incredible. The tour of their local olive farm was also a nice addition. If you’re on the fence, please book, you won’t regret it.

This was a great...

This was a great experience. The bread making lesson and lunch was phenomenal. The interaction and hospitality of the hosts was so amazing.

Great Greek Immersion

The highlight of our trip, an authentic experience with a warm, welcoming family! Our hosts, Nikos and Alex, were fun and knowledgeable. Not only did we learn about sourdough bread making, we also learned about herbs they grew in the garden, and how to make Greek fava. Delicious!! We also walked around their olive grove and Nikos told us about how they keep their trees healthy and producing. One of the best parts was all sitting down together to eat our breads, fava, ash roasted potatoes, Greek salad, and tasting four different types of olive oil, while talking about family and experiences! Then we were joined by sister Veerna (the one who created the business Veerna’s Kitchen) and brother Kostas (Alex’s father), to add to the family atmosphere! Kostas is the one who renovated the building and outdoor cooking & dining area, and it’s fabulous. I hope many others will get to enjoy this experience, where you are treated as family and enjoy delicious food! Thank you all so much! Veerna, thank you for coming back to join us after you had already had a long day with your morning cooking class!

Wonderful Experience!

A terrific family experience! The hosts were warm and welcoming and masters at teaching bread baking which is baked in their outdoor brick oven. They showed us around their lovely grove of olive trees and mountain herbs they transplant in their garden. After the bread was baked, we tasted each guests loaf along with the host’s varied olive oil creations and light dinner. Both my 14 year old grandson and I will always remember this wonderful evening.

So much fun.

Veerna, kostas, and Alex were so hospitable. They made you feel like you are visiting family. Making break was so much fun, and eating it, was even better.
