Birthday Cooking Class - I booked this cooking class as a surprise birthday present for my hubby while on holiday - and it was fabulous! The setting is just super cute and Evy was so lovely and informative throughout the museum tour and the cooking class. We completed several dishes, starters, mains and dessert, alongside lovely local wine and Raki. Getting to eat the food you prepped looking out over the wonderful scenery was just perfect. Thank you so much for an amazing day :)

Whole family had fun! - Alexandria was a fabulous guide! We enjoyed touring the museum & traditional homes to learn about Crete’s history & culture. My whole family (husband & I with early 20s sons) had fun preparing the Cretan dishes. They turned out delicious. It was an extra treat to eat outside & listen to the music from a christening celebration & watch the dancing.

Fun cooking class - We had so much fun at this class! Our instructor, Alexandria, was very kind, funny, and knowledgeable. First we had a tour of the museum, then we made dolmades, taziki, and a few other delicious dishes! We sat outside to eat, and the view was amazing. Highly recommend.
