Amazing! - Such a fun experience to have with our group of friends. Not only did we learn how to make two wonderful dishes, Irene answered any and all questions we had about the area, the history and their family hotel. Must do when in Amorgos!

Great experience! - We loved how Irene explained everything so well and coached us as we cut veggies for and assembled the moussaka. We also loved making and eating the tzatziki. Irene was very personable and answered questions about life on Amorgos. After the hour+ we spent cooking with her, the students sat on the lovely shaded terrace and enjoyed the food we had made. We had a very ery fun learning experience!

GREAT EXPERIENCE! - My friend and I took this cooking class while on Amorgos. The chef was delightful and the class engaging. In the end, we made and feasted on some of the best moussaka and tzatziki we had all trip. I look forward to trying this at home when I get back.

Ten out of ten - What a great class! Learned a lot of ins and outs for green cooking. Whether you are a top chef yourself or just enjoy cooking, this will be fun for you. Hospitality is top notch and the food is even better! We made moustaka and taziki - delicious. While we waited for it to finish, we sat by the beautiful pool deck and enjoyed a beverage at their bar! Also. Amazing view of Aegeli Bay. 10/10.

Amorgos cooking class - The experience was wonderful ! Most of the ingredients are grown locally, or even in their own garden. We learnt how to make a delicious moussaka, and had a lot of fun with the family who is running the hotel (and super nice). And the view of the restaurant is breathtaking !!! Make sur to give them a call before to confirm your booking as tripadvisor system seems a little slow.
