You've got to do this. It's fantastic - Wow! This program was exceptional. Maria, the chef and her team were fantastic. We had a group of 15 and we all Help them prepare all the dishes about 7:00 or eight of them. And it was one of the highlights of hardship.

BOOK IT - I took this class back in October with a friend and returned to Greece again in August for a wedding. My boyfriend and I decided to extend the trip into a vacation and when we agreed to go to Paros, doing this again was a non-negotiable. I already knew I would love it since I took the class before, but he had no idea what he was walking into and he absolutely loved it. The staff is funny, helpful and lively. The food is delicious. And it’s so fun connecting with other people from around the world and making a meal together. I highly recommend this 🫶🏼

A really fun and well... - A really fun and well organized cooking class. We made 7 dishes with a class of 16. The outdoor setting is wonderful and you get more than 60 recipes to take home. Lots of wine to accompany the class. I took the class with my 16 year olds and they loved it!

10/10 Must Do Experience! - My two friends and I had the pleasure of taking Maria’s cooking class while we were in Paros. She is so personable and her team made sure that the whole experience ran smoothly. It was honestly the highlight of our 10 days in Greece! Between the wine, the food, the dancing, and the people, it was something I will remember forever!

Don’t Miss This One - If you cannot have fun here stay home. The host Maria is a 62 year old authentic Greek Samson who grew up cooking utilizing centuries old recipes past on by her family. The setting is an open air restaurant complete with tables to prepare the food . She has many staff apprentices however she is the star . You pair a 7 course Greek meal from scratch all the while drinking wine and listening to all genres of music . She explains the history of the good and do many small tips that create a sensational experience. The complete group , participants share a long rectangular table are involved in the creation of the 7 courses all participating at each course . Once the food is in the oven , Greek dancing is taught and all participate . Afterwards you eat the spoils of your hard work . Her team and herself are truly authentic and make the evening such a memory. Old/young , introverted/ extroverted , vegetation or carnivore all will appreciate her for her genuiness . Great , great event . Thank you Maria and team . Franco
