What you can expect?

Travel to a peaceful, traditional village amidst the countryside of Heraklion in the comfort of a modern vehicle. Just 30 minutes away from the city, your cooking experience will take place in a traditional stone village looking out over herb-scented hilltops and the valley of Heraklion. An experienced Cretan cooking instructor will welcome you and introduce you to the earthly flavors of Cretan cuisine.

Firstly, you will embark on a  30-minute tour referring to the objects and habits of cooking processes in past times. It is an integral part of the experience, as we regard the cooking lessons as a holistic cultural experience of Cretan life. 

Next comes the cooking lesson. You will prepare step-by-step famous Cretan appetizers, like 'dakos' – Cretan rusks topped with tomato sauce and feta cheese - and 'dolmadakia' – vine leaves stuffed with a rice mixture.

The time will finally come to taste all those Cretan goodies you’ve made, accompanied by local wine. The friendly atmosphere and picture-perfect scenery will capture your senses on every level, and you will return home with a whole new cooking skillset!

We had never taken part in a cooking class while travelling but this was an amazing tour. We really came closer to the greek and cretan culture via this workshop. Highly recommended.

Service was excellent. Nikos was very helpful while communicating many months before our trip and helped us book this excursion. Our driver Dimitris was friendly and very welcoming. And of course, the cooking experience was one of the highlights of our entire trip. Thank you Greeking.me!
