What Travelers Say

5/5 from 117 verified GetYourGuide travelers

"A local cooking class with two amazing, sweet women. The activity was in a homely and relaxed atmosphere. We were 2 adults and 4 girls (8-12). The hosts adapted the activity and the type of food so that the girls took an active part in the preparation and cooking. Highly recommended!"

"This cooking lesson with Chrysoula was one of the most wonderful experiences of our vacation in Crete. It never felt like a typical cooking lesson, but rather like cooking together with friends, where you learn a lot about Cretan cuisine and culture along the way. Chrysoula and her neighbor/colleague are incredibly warm, humorous, and have created a wonderful atmosphere. Her home is also a fantastic place with a breathtaking view over the countryside all the way to the sea. We were also lucky enough to share the experience with a great, relaxed group, which made the day even more special. Looking back, we can hardly imagine that another cooking lesson could offer a comparable experience – here, everything just came together perfectly. Thank you, Chrysoula, for this unforgettable day!"

"The cooking lesson on Cretan cuisine was simply splendid! My husband and I were thrilled and will definitely cook some of the dishes at home. Chrysoula conveyed everything wonderfully with a lot of humor, charm, and passion and created a great atmosphere. We not only learned delicious recipes, but also learned a lot about Cretan cuisine and culture. We can fully recommend the course!"

"The cooking program with Chrysoula is really great! The place is beautiful and very pleasant. We cooked 2 starters, 2 main courses, and a dessert. We even got to taste wine and raki (a little too much, actually, haha). The portions are more than generous. Chrysoula and her friends are extremely kind, and the funny and friendly atmosphere made this activity an unforgettable experience. Thank you! Go for it without hesitation!!!"

"We had such a wonderful time at this cooking class! From the very beginning, the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and full of positive energy. We not only learned a lot of new techniques and recipes, but also truly enjoyed every moment of the experience. Chrysoula is an incredible host with a genuinely warm heart. You can immediately tell how passionate she is about what she does, and that passion is absolutely contagious. She made everyone feel comfortable, supported, and at ease throughout the class. The whole experience felt both educational and fun, with plenty of laughter and a relaxed, joyful vibe. We left not only with new cooking skills, but also with great memories. Highly recommended!"
