Naxos: Half-Day Cooking Class at Basiliko Family Tavern

Highlight of our trip to Naxos! We came to Naxos as part of our Honeymoon and now that we are back home in the US, this cooking class is the thing we constantly keep talking about, how we much we loved it and wish we were back on the beautiful farm drinking wine and making Greek food! The hosts were amazing, very nice, and well organized. This is a must do, you will not regret it! Quick note - if you rent a car and drive to the property yourself, the turnoff to the property from the main road looks steep and you’ll think this can’t be it, but it is and you’ll be fine driving in and out. Wife was worried the whole time in the passenger seat but it ended up being a breeze.

It was a great afternoon, Anna was host for our tour and she did an amazing job. she walked us through a portion of her family's farm to pick out vegetables, explained all the different vegetables and fruit trees that grow in the region, and gave us some insight on the region they are on. We got to prepare the meals together, and as they cooked in the oven Anna took us on a short walk through a creek bed to see some points of interest and the history of the area. It was a great experience, thank you and your family for their hospitality Anna!
