This is not just another cooking class—it’s the only cooking class in Naxos held on a 500-meter mountain terrace overlooking the island.
Join us for a hands-on cooking experience where the flavors of Naxos come to life.
Guided by our owner, you will prepare traditional family recipes using fresh ingredients sourced from nearby farms within 5 km. Along the way, you will learn simple techniques, cooking secrets, and the story behind the island’s authentic dishes.
This is not a demonstration—it’s an interactive experience where everyone participates. Chop, stir, knead, and cook together before gathering around the table to enjoy the meal you have created.
A glass of local organic wine, warm conversation, and shared laughter complete the experience. This combination of cooking, learning, discovery, and shared dining creates a moment that feels personal, authentic, and deeply connected to Naxos.
What You’ll Experience
