Authentic Cretan Cooking Class With Stamatia

Kostas and Stamatia were wonderful Hosts for our Crete cooking class. Preparing the food with their instruction and help, as well as the lovely setting was great-we have done many cooking classes and really enjoyed. Loved making the cheese, tasting the olive oils and the food was abundant and delicious. They have a beautiful setting and we enjoyed learning the bio techniques used on their land and in their cooking! Highly recommend!

The cretan cooking class was a blast! The food was absolutely delicious and more than plentiful. Pro tip: Bring a big appetite, because you’ll get enough to eat to stay full all day! The hosts were incredibly nice and warm, so you felt right at home. The group was great, too: interesting, friendly people who made cooking and eating together even more fun. The size of the group was optimal in this configuration One small suggestion for improvement: The knives could have been a little sharper, which would have made cutting the ingredients easier. Overall, it was a great experience with delicious food, warm hosts, and a pleasant atmosphere. We would recommend this class anytime! Worth every penny!

One of the best experiences of my life! The hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming, and the food was absolutely delicious. We felt so well taken care of from the moment we arrived. I would recommend this experience a billion percent to anyone visiting the area! It’s truly something you have to experience at least once.

What an experience Amazing day. Kostas was a superb host. Very knowledgeable ans Stamatia was charming Very relaxed and food of the gods. Highly recommended.

We booked this activity on GetYourGuide to immerse ourselves in the authentic culture and traditions of Crete and we could not have made a better choice! Welcoming us were Kostas and Stamatia, two wonderful people who immediately made us feel at home, welcoming us into their splendid home as if we were part of the family. Together with them we learned to prepare numerous typical Cretan recipes, discovering not only the secrets of the local cuisine, but also many curiosities about their traditions. It was an authentic, pleasant experience full of human warmth, which made us feel truly part of the local culture. We absolutely recommend this experience to anyone who wants to experience something special and go beyond the classic tourist activities. We had a great time and will take with us a beautiful memory of this day, especially thanks to the kindness and hospitality of the two hosts!

The hours with Stamatia, Kostas, and Maria are truly highly recommended. During pleasant conversations about everything under the sun, and especially about Crete, olive oil, and cooking, the hours fly by. You get an insight into the preparation of typical Greek or Cretan dishes and then enjoy the prepared meals together. In a very warm atmosphere, you are guided to prepare dishes such as moussaka, stuffed grape leaves, tzatziki, salad, or Cretan dakos yourself. Even the production of fresh cheese from goat's milk is shown. The production of olive oil is explained and concluded with a tasting. For anyone who would like to get to know Greek hospitality in a private atmosphere, this offer is perfect. Afterward, you receive photos of the event and the recipes via an email link. Contacting us via the Thetasteofcrete website is easily possible in German or English. Efcharisto Poli, that we were allowed to be there!
