Outstanding Naxos Experience - The Naxos cooking class was fantastic! The walk through the farm collecting eggs and learning about the different fruits and vegetables grown there was really nice. The best part was the food and sitting with everyone. Go with an empty stomach because you will eat nonstop. Everything was delicious. We met great people and heard fun stories about the farm. It was an experience that everyone should have when visiting Naxos. The scenery was also so beautiful. It's a must do experience.

This was a great... - This was a great experience for us. We had a group ages 11-73 and all enjoyed time at the farm and learning to cook Greek cuisine. We went on an unseasonably warm day. Be prepared to be outside in the elements and consider bringing extra water if it’s too hot. Once we were at the cooking portion it was great and we had lots of shade and water. The farm portion of tour was very hot.

Wonderful (And Delicious) family experience - best in Naxos! - Our visit to Naxos Perivoli Farm was an incredible experience, thanks to the warm hospitality of Nick and his family. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with a delightful tour of the farm, where we met the animals, including chickens, peacocks, rabbits, and pigs. Nick shared the history of the farm, his family, and the local area, and we explored the fruit and olive trees, as well as the famous Naxian potatoes. The highlight of our visit was the wood-fire cooking class. Nick taught us how to make a variety of delicious dishes, including tzatziki, briam, zucchini fritters, omelettes, and feta wrapped in phyllo with honey. The meal we prepared was one of the best we had in Naxos, and we truly felt like part of the family. The kids also had a wonderful time, making this an unforgettable experience for all of us.

One of the best cooking classes ever! - This was truly an authentic Greece cooking class. Walking around the farm and seeing where all the ingredients come from was very informative and the views of the island from the walk were lovely. Wear comfortable clothes and walking shoes. The cooking class itself was so much fun, and Nickos the host has a cheerful and positive spirit as he leads the class. The food was delicious and plentiful! You will be left full for the remainder of the day. Come hungry! Also make sure you use google maps when going to the location. Apple Maps takes you to the wrong spot.
