Wonderful experience - Wow! What a gorgeous setting and amazing experience. Our family of 4 enjoyed learning about and preparing traditional recipes together with other guests in the open air kitchen. My kids (11 and 14) said it was the absolute highlight of our trip and we went on a boat tour too. The food was delicious and plentiful. Wine and bread in abundance. If you have never done a cooking class before, do it. What a memory this will be for us. Thank you for a great experience.

Highlight of our trip to Greece - Three of us visited Perivoli Farm together. We were myself (the grandmother), my daughter, and my 10-year-old granddaughter. We ALL enjoyed it tremendously. Our guide, Tina, took us on a tour with some of the farm animals, and through olive groves, explaining about olives and wine-making. She was great at answering questions, and was patient with young and old alike.
But working together in the open air kitchen was most delightful! We made many local dishes together, with fun and with love. Wine helped us with our cooking chores. And our meal together was both delicious and sociable.
I think this will prove to be the highlight of our trip to Greece!

Amazing Experience! Highly recommended! - Everything about this experience was fantastic! The guides were so nice and friendly. My 9 and 11 year old daughters had a fabulous time. They were able to cut, mix, and be immersed in the whole cooking experience. The food was more than delicious, and the people we met just sealed the deal. If you are on the fence about it, I would say go for it! We initially were not sure if we would like it, and we all left so grateful we did it! Highly recommend this tour. The food, the wine, the cooking, the environment all were great even in the heat of July! Tina was so nice, friendly, helpful, and informative. Thank you for a great evening!

Wholesome beautiful experience - Amazing experience if you're in Naxos looking for a half day activity. We did the evening with another couple just a heads up to arrange transportation if you need it. The family has had the farm for 8 generations and they took care of the end to end experience. It was exactly as described and I can't recommend it enough. Would do again !

Amazing host, amazing food - a great day out! - Such an amazing experience, couldn’t recommend this more! Our host, Danny, was so welcoming and passionate about the farm and Naxian cuisine and made the whole day really memorable. Danny also facilitated conversations so we all got to know each other in the group really well, and had a great day! Of course, the food was delicious! Thank you to Danny and the chefs for having us :)

Great time for a family cooking class - We had a wonderful experience with Tina, Nikos and everyone at the farm. Great cooking class, our family of four had an amazing time. Our teenage kids loved it. Would recommend to anyone visiting Naxos.

The advertising doesn’t quite match the experience :( - I really sat with whether or not to write this but at the end of the day I think it’s important to know exactly what you’re getting out of an experience especially when children are involved and there are expectations going into it. The description of this experience is robust in its offerings as well as the photos uploaded, those thing are not exactly what we experienced. The description says you will interact with animals (along with a picture of a family throwing chicken seed with chickens) we merely walked past a few cages of chickens with absolutely no “interaction”, there was a photo of a horse, pigs. None of this existed in interaction whatsoever. There was also a description about gathering eggs, as well as photos of this. This wasn’t mentioned at all nor occurred. When we booked we booked with the intention of our children actually being able to interact with animals like the experience advertises so it was certainly a let down for us. The people were nice but I think this experience is growing as the small group promised on the website was over 20 people in total. Perhaps, they are losing the sweetness of the experience in their growth? Overall, we were a little disappointed.

Waaaaay too long - I cannot believe this farm experience / cooking class gets a 5 star from anyone. They have obviously never been to a real cooking class. While our guide/hostess Constantina was absolutely the sweetest… the “experience” we had was absolutely dreadful. After a silly 45 minute farm tour - which consisted of an egg hunt (clearly placed eggs by owner,) we then we sat for 4 hours (yes - 4 hours.) It was almost as if it was their first cooking class. Nothing was prepared and the whole experience felt very disorganized. There was a lot of waiting and not a lot of cooking. We sat for 4 hours and cooked maybe a total of 30 minutes. The other issues is the flies. I realize this is an outside Kitchen and flies cannot be avoided. But it was disgusting. Flies everywhere - on the food we prepared and the food that was already cooked. Again - everyone was very nice but the whole experience felt very chaotic and unenjoyable.
