Must-Try Zakynthos Activity for Food Lovers - Absolutely incredible! The class was well-paced with hands-on recipes, history of Greek food and culture, and breaks for refreshments. The hosts were gracious and happy to answer all our questions on food and all things Greece. If you have a free half-day, this is a definite must on your Zakynthos itinerary!

Five stars across the board! - My husband and I signed up. So much fun and very informative! We made several delicious dishes that can be made in advance for a party and wine was included. We met very nice people from several countries. This class was very well run. The venue is nice and the bathrooms are clean. Family owned restaurant and cooking class. They offer 3 different menus depending on which day you attend. After class they shared the recipes from all 3 menus which was an unexpected bonus. Highly recommended.

Leant how to cook Greek dishes! - It was a great way to spend the late morning/afternoon preparing Greek dishes in good company. We learnt how to cook a few nice Greek dishes and a bit of the history of the Island. Of course, we tried what we cooked with a little drink on the house. We were sent cooking instructions via email. Overall, great experience, very relaxed and delightful.

The highlight of my holiday - From start to finish - this was the most lovely and wholesome class we could have hoped for. It exceeded expectations, we left more than full and were given so many amazing stories about Greece - I’ve been many times and never knew why they smashed plates, why the dishes are as they are, or about the scandalous truth behind olive oil. I also wish I knew they served different menus on different days as I may have booked a second class knowing this before hand - it was that good. If you are unsure - let me tell you this will be the best money you spend and it will stay with you longer than the memories of the booze cruises. They do have a shop where you can buy the ingredients, but at no point are you pressure to buy anything & the menus are sent to you after the class. Also - unlike many of the other (more expensive) options this one is set in a gorgeous authentic Greek taverna style restaurant - i can’t express how lovely everything was. Honestly incredible experience start to finish - I loved it so much I think I’ll start a tradition of doing this in every country I visit.

The best experience! - The highlight of our trip! I recommend this class so strongly. The stories, the food, the overall experience was absolutely stunning. You are constantly tended to, given drinks and anything else needed. Our group was so lovely and we friended many of the attendees. Alex’s’ recommendations were also perfect for our days on the island. While the class is long, it doesn’t feel boring or dragged on. If anything, we all enjoyed so much we wanted to stay longer. Ah yes, and the food was delicious. Our group did not have any food allergies or restrictions but the team was so kind and adaptable if that was needed. 10/10 recommend

Rich in experience - A great experience, a really high-quality and educational course. The leader is inspiring and knows his job. The lunch eaten at the end of the course crowned the experience, the best dishes of the trip and made by yourself! Wonderful setting and restaurant.
