What To Expect

Use the knowledge that will get passed onto you from the expert local cook, and learn about hundred-year-old recipes passed down through generations. Prepare traditional Cretan dishes and learn tips and tricks to make your cooking life easier!

Let our driver take you to the breathtaking countryside of Heraklion in the comfort of a luxury vehicle and delight in a beautiful track through the Cretan villages. Ony some 30 minutes outside Heraklion city, your cooking adventure will transpire in an off-the-beaten-path location looking out over herb-scented hilltops and the sea. There, you will meet a Cretan cook practicing Greek hospitality, welcoming you and introducing you to Cretan cuisine.

You will be taught step-by-step famous Cretan appetizers, such as 'dakos' – Cretan rusks topped with tomato and feta cheese - and 'dolmadakia' – stuffed vine leaves.

After all that hard work, it is time to taste all those Cretan delicacies you cooked along with delicious local wine. The relaxed atmosphere and imposing landscapes will make leaving a difficult task.
