This was such a memorable experience! When we arrived at the farm we were greeted by Anna the 5th generation farmer. She showed us around the farm, we picked some of the vegetables that we would be using in the dishes and then we went back to begin prepping the meal. While the food cooked we took another walk around the property while enjoying their homemade wine. Followed by the delicious meal, the entire family was so friendly and accommodating! And the peak of the evening was when they invited us out to the parking lot to learn a few Greek dances and smashing plates. We would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Naxos!

We had an amazing time at The Basiliko Family Farm. Ana was a great host and made us feel at home. She led us on a beautiful tour throughout her family’s farm. We were able to gather fresh ingredients that were used to cook homemade, traditional dishes. The food and wine was amazing. Would highly recommend!
