Best experience in Crete - I really enjoyed the event, besides cooking the dishes, we received a lot of interesting information about the history and life in Crete. It was amazing to cook with your own hands in such a picturesque place surrounded by nature. I highly recommend Alex as a guide, he is an extraordinary person with good manners and a perfect command of history and jokes

Embracing Greece one bite at a time - Kostas was an amazing guide, I learned not just about the meal, but also Greece, history, wine making, olive oil making. We spent time learning with Maria how to make an amazing meal with just a dab of olive oil... so full so happy and so wonderful.
