Cooking Class in Naxos Villages, Naxos

Find out all about the Greek way of life with your taste buds during this half-day hands-on cooking class! There is no better way to immerse yourself in the local traditions and cuisine than through food, as you will find out today when you experience a sensory day-in-the-life of a local family, helping them to prepare and then eat a typical meal.
 
You'll meet your cooking instructor in a picturesque village, home to just 30 inhabitants! This charming place with its twisting century-old olive trees, flower-filled yards, delightful traditional architecture is the atmospheric setting for your culinary adventure. The adventure really begins as a local family welcome you, to share stories about everyday life in this traditional settlement and to teach you how to prepare a traditional Greek meal.

You'll help your host prepare a 3-course menu based on fresh, seasonal, and local ingredients. Using traditional Naxos recipes passed down through generations, you'll learn about the Mediterranean diet and why it is significant to the islanders.

After you have finished, it will be time to enjoy the fruits of your labors and eat your meal the Greek way, together with your host and washed down with some fine local wine! Take this wonderful opportunity to swap stories with the family and ask them more about the recipes, ingredients, and Naxian cuisine. Products the island is particularly known for, include potatoes, citrus fruits, lamb, goat and, of course, fresh fish.

This is a family-friendly activity suitable for children of all ages.
