We had a great time.... - We had a great time. Nikos and Alex were very hospitable, fun, entertaining. We learned about sourdough of course, but also talked about and smelled all of their herbs and ate plenty of their family olive oil. As great as the hosts were, the best part was the food. The sourdough was fantastic paired with their olive oil and a feta/veggie spread (which i can’t remember the name of) that was one of the best things I’ve had in Greece. The rest of the food was great too. We had a really nice meal. The hosts ate with us and the other guests after we baked our bread and we just talked about our homes and travel adventures. Would highly recommend.

Sourdough Class - My wife and I loved the sourdough class so much! All of the food was so delicious and there is plenty of downtime to walk through the garden, get a tour of the olive grove, and enjoy some amazing lemonade. We even took some starter home and are now making sourdough loaves courtesy of Veerna.

Absolutely amazing experience! - This experience can only be described as outstanding! We are a mature family of four traveling with our elderly but active and vibrant mother. All of our expectations were surpassed! Our host, Nikos was outstandingl! He’s an amazing teacher and cook. We actually had the pleasure of meeting the whole family as they came in to work but Nikos led the class with the help of his nephew, Alex. In addition to making bread, we made traditional Greek foods while we waited. Nikos is very engaging, funny and friendly. We enjoyed making and breaking bread with him. The facility is gorgeous ! It’s absolutely beautiful and very comfortable, perfect for cooking classes. I also loved the garden and Nikos gave us tour of it and the olive orchard. Everything we ate and drank was delicious! We left with our leftover bread and quite a bit of other food as well. If you want an amazing authentic food experience, don’t miss this! The price should really be double for what you get.

Highly recommend - We had a wonderful time at the sourdough making and olive oil tasting class. Nikos was an excellent host who made us feel incredibly welcome from the moment we arrived. He shared recipes that have been passed down through his family for generations, and the bread and food we made were absolutely delicious. He also gave us a fascinating insight into the olive oil production process, explaining how it’s made and guiding us through tasting the different varieties and their unique flavours. It was a warm, authentic, and memorable experience, and I would highly recommend this class to anyone looking for a taste of local tradition and hospitality.

Definitely Recommend - What a great time learning about and making our own sourdough bread, their herb garden, olive trees, growth and harvest cycles, fertilization, and non-chemical pest management. The starter bread used for leavening was from their grandmother’s original batch made 65 years ago! We prepared most of our meal, then enjoyed conversation over wine, the delicious meal, and dessert. A few gifts of soap and citronella olive oil spray made from olive oil over a year old that is not used for eating… Definitely a 5 Star experience 👍

Wonderful experience! - Our family of 5 enjoyed the whole class. We learned so much about olives, the olive tree farm and making sourdough. Niko was great and kept us laughing as well. It was so neat to hear about the family history with the sourdough and farm in general. The food was awesome too!!! So many yummy things to learn, make and eat!!

Super sourdough class - We enjoyed this class very much with our delightful hosts Nico and Alex. We learn how to make sourdough Bread in the Greek Way. Also, we tasted different kinds of their lovely olive oil, a wonderful meal, toured to their olive grove, and got to know our host. We now know why cretan hospitality is the best. We highly recommend this class.
