Full description

Many people believe that in order to know a place well you need to know its everyday life. Inviting you to the home in Kaloxylos, the locals prepare a typical Greek meal. You become part of the local life and experience the village way of living. The menu depends, each time, upon your personal preferences, the season and, of, course, what is growing in the village's gardens. Vegetables, dairy products, meat, olive oil and herbs are the main ingredients. Based on traditional recipes you learn how to add a personal family touch and you are ready. You will cook and enjoy a meal in a traditional house in the center of the village, which is often an attraction for other residents who will welcome you too. The four-hour experience includes cooking and eating traditional Naxos foods.

Absolutely wonderful experience. My daughter loved the hands on cooking experience and exploring the village while stuff cooked. The food was fun to make and delicious to eat. Katerina and her mom were wonderful to meet and talk with, giving us tons of useful information about Naxos and key places to visit. We would absolutely do it again if we are ever back on Naxos.

Wonderful small group experience in an adorable village that you might otherwise miss. You are given all sorts of drinks and treats to try while you working on your meal. This is my second experience with Katerina who is a lovely hostess. I learned so much and I can’t wait to do another tour with her in the future.

We’ve taken cooking classes in several different countries and Katerina was by far our favorite host. The dishes we made were authentic and delicious. We loved seeing the villages in the area and learning about the Greek lifestyle from Katerina. It was truly an unforgettable experience and we would recommend to anyone.
