What you can expect?

Being the biggest island in Greece, Crete is known for its breathtaking beauty and distinctive cuisine. Join us on a trip to flavorville, also known as the town of Chania, to discover the smell and taste of Crete through a cooking lesson designed just for you!

With a local’s kitchen at the high peaks of the White Mountains as your setting, cook some of the most popular Cretan dishes, made with fresh, organic ingredients grown in the Cretan land. Extra-virgin olive oil, fresh vegetables, local meat, dairy products, and the most aromatic of herbs, will be used to create mouth-watering delicacies. The main course will consist of the traditional Greek recipe of 'gemista', which is a dish of tomatoes and other vegetables stuffed with herbed rice, a delicious meal that both vegetarians and meat-eaters love!

Next, you will be served delightful, aromatic Cretan wine, complemented with a variety of local cheeses. A feast for both your mouth and your eyes, you will be able to enjoy the Cretan goods along with an exquisite view of the Cretan mountains. After you have relished the wine and cheese, prepare some traditional appetizers, such as ‘dakos’, ‘tzatziki’, and the widely held Cretan cheese pies ‘kaltsounia’. Once you’re done with your appetizers, it will be time to enjoy the fruits of your labor. Taste your own creations, accompanied by sumptuous local wine, and try some traditional fruit preserves for dessert.

The long lifespan of Cretans is often attributed to their gastronomic culture. After your cooking class in Chania, you can put this theory to the test from the comfort of your own home; pretty cool, right?
