Delicious and Peaceful - The farm and cooking experience at Perivoli was tranquil and fantastic! We came at the end of the season and ended up having just the two of us with Nikos guiding us around his family farm. He was friendly, kind, and a gracious host. We tried olive oil squeezed between our fingers, oranges, and pomegranates plucked from the branch. Such a gem! Thank you so much Nikos!

Don’t miss out on this experience! - Upon arrival you meet a few farm animals, pick eggs and learn about local agriculture. Too fully immerse yourself in the food you prepare, it is a valuable part! After a short uphill climb you learn more about the fruit and grapes. We enjoyed fresh pomegranate and moved on to lunch. We is the preparation and “grandpa” does the cooking. It’s amazing!

A must do experience! - This was so much fun! It was really interesting to learn about olive trees and the pressing process as well as the rest of the farm. We went on a “fresh egg hunt” that were used to make an omelet for us later.

A once in a lifetime activity - We had a blast during this experience. Nikos meets everyone at the entrance and starts the tour shortly after. You meet his farm animals and collect eggs that will be used for the cooking portion later. Next, he shares the history of his olive trees and you learn how they harvest them. After that, he walks you to his fruit trees and we all were able to eat many pomegranates (that were extremely delicious). Once he’s done giving you the tour, you start the cooking portion. You learn how to make many foods and they serve you wine and juice. The family was adorable and Nikos was so kind. This was such a unique experience that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Naxos.

Amazing day in a breathtaking setting. - There is not much more that I can add that hasn’t already been expressed. The glowing reviews are well deserved. This was a hands on experience, from gathering eggs to prepping our meal. We learned so much about the culture and traditions of Naxos. We were delighted to taste food that the Perivoli family has grown and produced. The Perivoli ‘s have so much to be proud of. It is wonderful to see how they work together and generously share their time and expertise. It is a highlight of our Greek holiday.

Farm Fun - This experience was amazing! We loved getting to view the farm and learn about how the different produce is grown and taken care of. The cooking experience was so much fun! Everyone got to experience prepping the dishes for our meal. We made authentic Greek recipes and got to try the farm’s olive oil and wine. This was a unique experience and I’d recommend it to everyone!

Farm living at its best - This was such a great experience. Nikos was a great guide, his father and uncle great cooks!
We collected eggs, ate pomegranates off the trees, and got to know the working of the farm. We then had a long leisurely lunch with a ton of food! Delicious.
Thanks for the memories

A great interactive learning experience with a good feast - must try - It was a lovely day out with a bit of history about the farm and the local farming practices used on the island, such as collecting eggs and exploring the vineyards and farming areas around the farm, learning about the olive trees, and the vineyard trees fo different fruits that we got to sample some of the grapes and pomegranate that were growing strongly. We had a traditional Naxian meal after the lovely walk through the farm, having the group we were with process the ingredients and chat and enjoy the family hospitality.
We loved the meal we had and enjoyed the time we spent there. The trip was just over 4 hours, and it flew by.
The hosts sent over the recipes for us to try at home after the day, which we plan to make soon.

Highlight of Our Trip - Our visit to Perivoli Farm was the highlight of our 2 weeks in Greece. Niko and his family welcomed us to their home with open arms as friends. We learned so much about the agriculture, history, and the traditional Naxian lifestyle.
We enjoyed an informative tour of the farm at a comfortable pace. Afterwards we relaxed in the outdoor kitchen and dining area while we prepped lunch. Niko’s authenticity and hospitality combined with the small group size made for an incredible, unforgettable experience. We can’t wait to take what we learned and try to recreate these dishes back home.
If you want to sample the countryside lifestyle of Naxos, then this is the experience for you. I would rate 10/10, absolute must-do.

Must Do If You're Into Food - Like the many reviews say, Nikos was amazing and this was such a fun experience. The farm is so diverse in all that is cultivated, so I learned a lot about many different things that I eat often. The cooking part was hands-on and the recipes are simple as they are authentically in Greece. The meal was delicious and seemed never ending! I could have sat and drank their rosè all afternoon long … What a pleasure this was. Cannot recommend more highly! Thank you Nikos, and dad / uncle!
