Wendy – United Kingdom

It was a wonderful day all round . We had a very warm welcome from the start .The Basiliko family are all very welcoming . Anna , our host was very pleasant and made us feel at ease and included in all the cooking activities , she is a brilliant teacher. We really enjoyed all the preparation for the meal , it was great to walk around the farm and gather the produce in baskets and hear all about and how they use it ,this really added to the experience. It was such a lovely thing to do . We also went for a walk along the river , which was really beautiful and Anna made it really interesting by telling us lots of Greek Mythology stories , it was brilliant, she is so knowledgeable . The meal itself was delicious and it was lovely to have a nice chat with all the other guests. At the end of the meal, we all got up and joined hands in a circle and did some Greek dancing ,which was really good fun ,this finished off the day brilliantly and made it very special. Thank you so much Wendy

This was the highlight of our trip to Greece! The setting is wonderful, against the backdrop of a family home and farm. The food was all fresh and the recipes simple to follow and tasted amazing! Would recommend this experience to anyone travelling to Naxos!
