An unforgettable experience - This experience was by far one of our favorite from our Eurotrip! We got a tour of the grounds, picked our own ingredients and started the cooking fun! The views were amazing, everything was so beautiful and well kept! Helen was so knowledgeable, patient, funny and kind! We cooked and ate and drank some yummy wine! This was one of the most authentic experiences we had during our trip! 10/10 recommend!

A unique and authentic experience! - We had an absolutely lovely time !! I am traveling with my friends to IOS and we had such an authentic/unique experience! Helen and Hera were so sweet. We collected eggs straight from the chicken coup and even saw one lay and egg. The food was absolutely incredible and definitely an unforgettable experience :)

Best Activity in Ios - My husband and I did this activity during our on our stop in Ios. It was one of our all time favorite experiencs during our tour of Greece honeymoon. We were the only ones in the morning and we went with Eleni and her husband Demetri to pick onions, and garlic, and collect eggs from the coop. Demetri was a loveable goofy prankster teasing his wife in greek and goofing around with my husband. Eleni was an amazing guide telling us about the island, their family farm, and the harvest. Then we went and cooked spanikopita (including the filo) from scratch with their family's cheese with Demetri's mother (Eleni's Mother-in-law) as she repeatedly scolded the super market and effortlessly taught us how to cook. It was so much fun and truly a one-of-a-kind experience. After we made the spanikopita, we joined other guests as we toured the cheese museum and then got a tasting of cheese and homemade wine (and then we got to eat our spanikopita and had plenty to take with us on the road!). I cannot recommend this experience enough. So so so cool and soooo worth it and this family is the nicest, most loving family.

Cooking class and cheese tasting - Helen was our host. She was very welcoming and kind, she took us through the gardens, pointing out herbs and vegetables. She also answered all our questions with enthusiasm and gave us a guided tour rich with history about the farm. John was a great help, he helped us get eggs from the chickens and made sure we had everything we needed. Thia Froso was delightful and we had a wonderful time cooking with her. The cheeses, wine and honey were all delicious, and the grounds are beautiful.
