Tradiotional hospitality with tasteful delights!!!!!!!! - During our short visit in Heraklion we decided to learn more about the traditions and the local cusine of the beautiful island of Crete. We randomly selected the cooking lessons in Heraklion and we couldn't be happier with our choice. We didn't just cook and eat the tradiotional cretan dishes (tzatziki, Gemista and ntolmadakia, Loukoumades) we made from the fresh ingredients we picked ourselves, but also we visited the family's farm and fed the animals. Additionally, all the hosts and especially Sevi were great and made sure that we had a goodtime, while we were there. We highly recommend this experience!!!!!!
