Exclusive In-villa Dinner Experience (Min. 6 People)

We had an amazing experience with Private Chef Naxos. Flora was great to communicate with; we planned a special dinner menu catered specifically to our preferences for my husband’s birthday. Chef Iosif and his sous chef arrived hours before the dinner to prep and then our dinner started with pre-dinner bites served by the pool and ended with a birthday cake. Having this experience while overlooking Naxos and its amazing coastline was truly an experience of a lifetime. Both chefs were so professional and friendly; it was like a family member was cooking for us. If you want that once in a lifetime experience this is it!

Fantastic experience with the team at Private Chefs Naxos. We rented a house and wanted a in house dining experience prepared by a local chef with local ingredients. We reached out, they provided us with a few options of menus and we paid our deposit. A few days before the dinner, they reached out again to confirm all the last minute details. The actual dinner was wonderful! Chef Josef came a few hours early to start prep. Once the dinner started, he presented each course with an explanation of where the ingredients came from, his preparation, and allowed the food to speak for itself. Each course was perfectly balanced and presented beautifully. Dinner itself lasted about 2.5 hours. Afterwards, everything was cleaned up and left exactly as it was. Just a great experience from start to finish. Definitely a highlight from our trip to Naxos. Would recommend this to anyone looking for an elevated in home dining experience for your group while on holiday.

The following is the exact review I gave to the Chef and his team directly. I want to share the same review here. Chef Joseph gets our strongest recommendation! (Read below) ———————————- We have traveled all over the world and have eaten amazing food. Last night’s overall meal was the best I have ever had. I am not saying that to be nice. I am very serious. We all loved every course. All morning we have debated about our favorite dish…impossible to pick just one. Funny, as good as everything was, we all agree that the salad was delicious! What an incredible evening! Thank you so very much for all of your work to make our evening spectacular. A night we will never forget. We have already posted on Facebook to share your info with all of our friends and family back in the United States. We will also do reviews for you later today or tomorrow. If you ever happen to be on the east coast of the United States, we are in Virginia. You are forever welcome as a guest in our home! All the best to you! Mike Parker

Out of our two week trip to Greece, this was our favorite night. They came directly to our villa and prepared the most amazing traditional Greek dinner for us that far exceeded any meal that we have had thus far. The fresh tomatoes of the greek salad were exceptional, and the moussaka was made with such fresh ingredients. We had plenty of bread and dips that were left over until the next day. They left the kitchen absolutely spotless, and the meal was taken at the perfect pace. It was a very warm and informative experience, and a great way to reflect on our trip together at the villa that we rented. I would highly recommend this crew to anyone! Thank you so much for sharing your love of cooking with us, and for taking such good care of our family. We will always remember it!

An amazing experience. The chefs gave us was able to highlight local Naxos cuisine and be flexible with our last minute changes. The food was so fresh and SO GOOD. Really one of the best meals we had on the island. The coordination was a breeze and the whole process came together simply.

My family had a wonderful evening with Chef Iosif and his team. They were very organized from start to finish, answered all of my family’s questions before the dinner, and easily accommodated our gluten free guest. They even assisted us with getting an extra cake, as we were celebrating an engagement. I would highly recommend Private Chef Naxos!

If I could give 10 stars I would. The food, the service , the ease of which they tended to our needs, the entire vibe, were all a beautiful experience for our party of 20. I only wish I could take them back to the US for all of our events!

We booked a private dinner at our villa for my wife's birthday while vacationing in Naxos, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our entire trip. We were traveling as a family of six, including three young kids, and had just arrived on the island that day. Even with everyone exhausted from travel and jet lag, Chef Joseph and Suzanna created an evening that we'll never forget. Every course was thoughtfully prepared using traditional Greek ingredients, and Chef Joseph took the time to explain each dish, the local cheeses, and even why he chose each wine pairing. It felt much more personal than simply having a meal—it was like getting a small introduction to Greek cuisine and culture right in our villa. The food was outstanding, but what impressed us just as much was the care they put into every detail. While we enjoyed dinner together as a family, they quietly cleaned the entire kitchen, packed away the leftovers, and left everything spotless. If you hadn't seen them cooking, you never would have known an elaborate multi-course meal had just been prepared. The evening ended with an incredible surprise. They helped us celebrate my wife's birthday by bringing out a beautiful cake with candles, making the night feel truly special for all of us. If you're visiting Naxos—especially as a family—I can't recommend Private Chefs Naxos enough. It was stress-free, incredibly delicious, and one of those experiences we'll be talking about long after our vacation is over. Thank you, Chef Joseph and Suzanna, for helping create such a wonderful memory for our family.

We had such an amazing evening! The Chef came on time, with all supplies needed. We were able to sit back and relax while our dining experience was beautifully taking place at our rental unit. We worked on creating the menu together and the food came out so delicious! We would absolutely recommend this experience and would love to do it again if we are in Naxos in the future!

We booked Private Chefs Naxos for our stay in Naxos Rock Villa. Prior to our arrival I communicated with Flora to discuss dietary restrictions and menu options. She was very kind, professional and accommodating as one of my kids has a few allergies. When we arrived at the Villa, a beautiful lunch was prepared for us. The chef, Iosef, was amazing. The presentation, the way he explained each dish, and how delicious each dish was made this an unforgettable experience. His assistant chefs were also great. Iosef also prepared an amazing breakfast and a beautiful dinner on our final night in Naxos. Every single dish was incredible. The value for the money was also unbelievable. I would highly recommend Private Chefs Naxos!

Chef Josef, Flora and team came to our short term rental in Naxos and cooked an amazing dinner for a 18 member family celebration. , A big “Thank You” to Flora, Joseph and the team for a memorable dinner and 65 wedding anniversary celebration. The food and the dining experience was excellent. Plus they cleaned everything afterwards (- we could just relax and enjoy the evening) 🙏

Absolutely amazing experience! The chef and assistant were so professional. We loved asking them questions about the preparation and they seemed to really enjoy explaining everything which made it a full experience. They set the tables and also cleaned up better than our rental kitchen had ever been cleaned. But most importantly the food was AMAZING!! Every single dish was incredible. We all agreed our best meal of the trip and we wished we could have eaten it every night while in Naxos. Amazing!!

Joseph was the best! The food was excellent and the service was great. He was so nice! Such an emerging activity! 100% recommend

Our (Family of 9) dinner by Chef Iosif Beintaris in June 2026 was a highlight of our stay on Naxos!!! Not only was the meal DELICIOUS, but Chef Iosif was so cordial (allowing us the opportunity to watch as he prepared our dinner) and informative of our Greek Naxos dishes. From booking communication, arriving on time, fresh quality ingredients, to complete clean up & storing leftovers in the Frigidaire, I would highly recommend Chef Iosif & Flora.

We had an amazing time and, honestly, I would have never seen myself eating the some of the food, but I cleared my plate. It was delicious! And the team was so enjoyable. We ended up seeing them again before we left and they feel like our Greek family know.

We had such a wonderful experience with Losif cooking for myself and my family. We went with a tradition menu and it did not disappoint. The food was delicious and the service was exceptional. Getting to know Losif and chatting with him was a highlight for all of us. The whole experience left us with full hearts and full bellies. Highly recommend!

🌿 An Unforgettable Night in Naxos! 🌿 We had Private Chefs Naxos prepare an incredible dinner at our villa, and the entire experience was beyond spectacular! Chef Beintaris Iosif created a six-course masterpiece, all freshly prepared in our own kitchen and served under the stars on our beautiful backyard patio. ✨ They went above and beyond—working with our dietary needs and preferences to design a menu that suited everyone perfectly. Every course was a delight, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious, and of course, served with Greek wines and cheeses. If you’re ever in Naxos, do yourself a favor and book Private Chefs Naxos. This was more than a meal — it was a memory we’ll never forget. 💫

We had the most incredible experience with Naxos Private Chefs during our family vacation on the island. We celebrated my father-in-law’s 79th birthday with 12 members of our family, including our baby. Everyone dressed in white, and the evening was absolutely magical with live music and sunset view. The chef team was amazing from start to finish. They prepared the most delicious Greek appetizers and fresh salads, followed by unforgettable main courses of fish and pastitsio. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of authentic flavor. Dessert was just as memorable, the perfect sweet ending to a perfect evening. Beyond the food, what made the night so special was their warmth, energy, and presence. Watching them cook in our villa and share in our celebration added so much intimacy and joy to the experience. It felt personal, thoughtful, and full of love. This is truly a night we will always remember, and we are so grateful to Naxos Private Chefs for making it unforgettable. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a private dining experience in Naxos, you will not only enjoy exceptional food, but also the gift of their wonderful company.

Private Chefs Naxos were excellent from start to finish. In our planning, Flora was super communicative, quick with responses, offered flexibility to suit our needs - and made the organisation very easy. On both nights, Iosef and team were exceptional - delivering restaurant quality meals in a domestic kitchen setting. The meals were both delicious - a true taste of Naxos on a plate. Everything on the evening was very smooth - the kitchen was impeccably clean at the end of the night, and the leftovers made for a delicious lunch the next day. The cake they sourced from Mathiassos Pastry Shop was sublime - without any input or direction, Flora picked the perfect cake! Would very much recommend for anyone looking for a special relaxed evening in their holiday villa in Naxos!

Private Chefs Naxos was recommended by our villa's owner and, now, it is my singular pleasure to recommend Yosef and his team to you. From start to finish, the experience was a highlight of our Greek holiday. You will deal with Flora in scheduling and selecting wines, a process that is delightful in itself as her welcoming presence can be felt even across electronic chats. Yosef and Dimitra arrived and immediately got to work in a professional yet warm manner. They were happy to answer questions both before and during the meal. And the meal! Prepared with a focus on fresh local products, each dish was presented with an explanation that allowed my family to learn more about Greek culture and Naxos specifically. We left with full bellies, hearts, and minds. And plenty of leftovers in the refrigerator. Thank Yosef, Flora & Dimitra!

My friends and I rented a villa for holiday and wanted to take advantage of the beautiful space by hiring a private chef. We were initially reluctant since there are many delicious restaurants around the island but we caved last minute when we wanted some R&R at our villa. Thankfully, there was availability and Joseph (chef) and Petra (sous chef) came over to make a wonderful, well worth it meal. We had the selection of 3 different menus and we chose the Mediterranean one, which included everything in the menu pictured + a surprise fish carpaccio. Many ingredients were locally sourced and extremely fresh. Our villa had a lot of kitchen equipment, but they brought everything else and offered wine pairing. 10000/10 recommend treating yourself to this experience in Naxos.

This was our first time hiring private chefs, and it couldn't have been better! Before booking, I spoke with Flora, who was extremely kind, responsive, and attentive-especially considering that my friend and I (two out of seven people) are vegetarians. When we made the reservation, we also asked if it could be possible for them to bring along some wine to pair with our meal. To our delight, they arrived with a selection of excellent local wines, which was a wonderful surprise and complemented the dinner perfectly. They arrived at our villa carrying their own equipment and were very professional. Josef, the chef, and his assistant prepared food that truly felt like it was made with love. Every dish was cooked with local, organic ingredients. The stuffed tomatoes and peppers were vegetarian, while the rest of the group enjoyed moussaka. They also created a warm, intimate atmosphere that turned out dinner into a truly memorable occasion. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a unique, personalized, and high-quality dining experience.

We hosted 8 friends from Portland, Oregon USA on our villa patio to a memorable night of fabulous, fresh, and delicous food, and hospitable service!. I highly recommend this team for your special gathering.

Our villa had a small kitchenette, and what Chef created out of it was nothing short of amazing. Every dish was sourced locally, and crafted with passion and attention to detail. Chef was also more than willing to explain his process so that I could attempt to recreate his work at home.

HIGHLY recommend Private Chefs Naxos! We spent 5 days in Naxos and have to say the meal prepared by Iosif & Flora was outstanding - our best on the island. They came to our airbnb while we were at the beach and started preparing a few hours before we were set to eat. Everything was clean, tidy and they were very respectful of the space. They were also very accommodating as we asked to update a few menu items. The food was fresh, authentic and beautifully prepared. Iosif & Flora were also lovely to sit and chat with after dinner. We absolutely will be reaching out to book again when we return to Naxos!

We celebrated my 60th Birthday in Naxos, and had the absolute pleasure of having 2 of our evenings catered by Private Chefs Naxos. Iosif, Flora and the rest of the team were so incredible. Flora helped us plan from afar. They arrived to our villa early each of the evenings, and created incredible meals for us. They were warm, friendly, helpful, fun and took care of absolutely everything. There were 20 of us, and we enjoyed having them with us while celebrating and just can't say enough about how great the food and company were. If you are looking for catering while in Naxos, Private Chef Naxos are the ones to call!

We had an amazing experience with Naxos private chefs last summer. They prepared 4 dinners for the 12 of us during our stay and each one was delicious, diverse, and perfectly accommodated our dietary restrictions. Our house had a very small kitchen, but it didn't seem to slow them down. During the meals, the service was impeccable. It was great to talk to the chefs about what to do the following day and other local delicacies to try. Flora was amazing to work with in planning the means and coordinating the logistics. I can't recommend them enough.

We booked this private dinner at our villa in Naxos as a celebration for ourselves and our friends. The experience from start to finish was fabulous. Can I give more stars? Joseph and Dimitra were wonderful. They were so kind and attentive. The food was amazing. It was all prepared very eloquently and Joseph explained ingredients in each dish and origin. Working with Flora via email and then WhatsApp was seamless. She helped me put together the perfect menu for our group. We had one vegetarian and they even surprised us with extra dishes and things for her the night of. Chef Joseph has worked all over and in a Michelin restaurant, which was very apparent by the quality of the food. This was one of the coolest experiences of our trip. I’d recommend booking your private experience with Private Chef’s Naxos! I promise it’ll be worth it!

We would highly recommend Naxos Private Chefs. Josef and Flora provide a fabulous opportunity to have the restaurant come to you. From food prep, set up, cook, service and clean up ! The menu options are extensive, customized and flexible, highlighting Naxos produce and catering to everyone in our Villa of 8. The teams’ consideration of our needs was beyond expectation. The food, freshness and flavors, were exceptional, large quantities allowing savoring the day after ! The service was five star and the process seamless. Thanks Josef, Flora and team for giving us one of our most memorable dining experiences in Greece. Your genuine kindness and generosity to assist us over our time on the island was over and above and greatly appreciated.

We spent a glorious week in Naxos in September with our multi-generational extended family of nine. As a special treat, we decided to book Private Chefs of Naxos for a celebratory dinner at our villa. Iosif and Flora were an amazing team and they couldn’t have been more gracious. Communicating with Flora before the event was effortless and informative. She is so organized and kind and lovely. Flora and Iosif offered us so many food choices, it was easy to assemble the perfect menu to please everyone. Each course was professionally prepared and presented and absolutely delicious! They set the table, prepared all the food and cleaned up at the end! It was an extraordinary experience! Everyone agreed that this was the best meal we had on Naxos! Iosif and Flora are uniquely talented and generous and I have to say that Iosif is the calmest chef I have ever met! Flora is so warm and generous. She offered us suggestions on where to view the best sunset as well as local restaurants to try. (Although none of them could compete with Iosif’s meal.) Our experience with Private Chefs of Naxos was the highlight of our trip! We highly recommend them!

Josef came to our villa and cooked the most delicious meal. To celebrate my family coming together, I book Josef via Flora. The process was easy and efficient, the menu choice was wide, comprehensive and flexible.Josef arrived at the villa 3 hours before with another member of staff and proceeded to make a stunning and fabulously tasty dinner. He had sourced fresh, organic produce from the Island and he explained his creations at each step. He was engaging and talented and we all enjoyed the experience immensely.

Going to Naxos?? Private Chefs Naxos IS A MUST DO!!!! Our best dining experience while in Greece for 2 weeks, hands down!! From the first contact via email, Flora was very timely and great at determining the best menu options for our VRBO's cooking accommodations. The menu offerings and details she provided were on point and blew us all away!! We wanted authentic local cuisine/sea food with a certified Chef's twist...Josif and Dimitra provided that, and more!! I must admit that I botched our date by one day and she offered to move some things around on their end -with a smile- to make our night AMAZING! Josif was fantastic at talking us through every step of the team's prep. Explaining in just the right amount of detail the 'whys and ways' to his craft. They kept us snacking on wonderful small plates and homemade bread while the main course was underway. Flora had other obligations (see above regarding my date botch) but she insisted on stopping by around dinner time. We are SOOOO glad that she did. We ending up sipping wine and sharing stories for hours. First class, 5-star service, warm and inviting conversation, the best and most fresh food we had during our entire trip. And we made new friends out of the experience! If you’re going to Naxos, DO NOT miss the chance to share a meal AND AN EXPIRIENCE YOU’LL NEVER FORGET with PRIVATE CHEFS NAXOS!!!!

We used Private Chefs of Naxos based on a recommendation from the owners of a VRBO we are staying in. We are so happy we did. Iosif and his assistant came over and cooked us an outstanding meal. The menu is attached. Iosif is very easy to work with and very accommodating. I highly recommend them.

Very beautiful experience with Private Chef Naxos. The food and the service were excellent!

We booked breakfast and lunch with Private Chefs Naxos during our stay in a villa for one day, and it was a fantastic experience. The food prepared by Iosif Beintaris was excellent from start to finish. We enjoyed various types of breakfast and the modern Greek menu for lunch. Iosif personally explained all the dishes in detail, and it was not only a pleasure to eat them but also a joy to listen to his thorough explanations. For lunch, we also ordered various Greek white wines, all of which delighted us. The service and friendliness of Iosif are unmatched. We were thoroughly taken care of and did not have to worry about anything. Absolutely recommendable!!!

I booked Josef and Flora from private bosses for my birthday in August on Naxos. From the first second, I felt very comfortable in the conversations and was given great advice on my options for my birthday. Flora has always tried very hard to keep me up to date and even organized a cake together with my family, which I didn't know about. On the day of the birthday I say only 100/10! Josef and his team came to our villa early and started preparing dinner. Everything was served and beautifully served and Josef also told something about each plate. The kitchen was left in perfect condition, so you would not have noticed that a meal for 10 people was prepared there. Everything tasted wonderful and very authentic! Thank you very much to the team of privatechefs Naxos for the great interpretation of my birthday the day will remain unforgettable!
