Naxos Perivoli Farm Experience & Wood-fire Cooking Class

We got to see a beautiful farm and outdoor kitchen and learn how to prepare delicious food. Highly recommend this experience if you’re on the island.

Our group of 12 (including 5 kids) absolutely LOVED the Perivoli farm tour and cooking class! It was a highlight of our time in Greece and we all would do it again. Our guide, Soto, was fabulous and OMG the food was incredible!! Look no further; book this experience now.

Our farm experience and cooking class has no parallel when in Naxos. Truly hands-on experience from collecting the hens eggs to preparing all our fresh ingredients for our meal. Highly recommend has a great family experience.

Our cooking class last night was one of the most unforgettable experiences of our family trip. Stamos was a wonderful guide, and Nick’s father—the owner—made the evening special with his cooking, music, and dancing. Our boys had such a great time, and we made memories together that our family will treasure for years. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was joyful, and we felt welcomed like family. This was truly the highlight of our trip to Naxos. We feel so blessed to have shared this experience and would recommend it to anyone

You learn about olives, grapes farm animals and how it all fits in to Naxos Greece. The experience is born educational and delicious. Stamos , who was our guide around the farm in addition to helping us prepare the meal was terrific. He had a wonderful sense of humor and was so caring about each person's experience. Coming out meal was none other than the owner of the farm, who i learned recieved all his culinary skills from his grandmother. Additional, the all around best helper, Maria's granddaughter, (whose name i can't spell) was wonderful. We had a terrific experience and a terrific meal. One word of advice, if you come the middle of October or later, dress WARM. THANK YOU ALL IT WAS GREAT!!

Stamos was so much fun, the cook was amazing...the Greek fries!!! Dancing after our meal was the best.🥰

The cooking class was a highlight of our honeymoon! Stamos was so friendly and knowledgeable. We truly felt like we were a part of the family. The food was incredible. Views were stunning. Highly recommend this class! Thank you Stamos for giving us this great experience!

Our guide Stamos was excellent and very personable with a great sense of humour. It was interesting touring the farm. Preparing the meal was fabulous and the food was delicious!!

An incredible experience to learn some history of the farm life and enjoy an incredible home cooked meal. Great company and our guide and the family were wonderful. One of the favorite activities we have experienced in Greece Islands. Thank you and all the best!

Loved everything about our day @ the Perivoli Farm! It was so much more than just cooking. We learned about the farm, collected our own eggs, met the animals and learned so much about the history of farming in Naxos!What really made it special was our guide Soto! She was so warm and inviting and made us feel right @ home! We finishished off the day smashing plates and dancing -so fun!The highlight of my trip to Naxos!

Had a great time, learned about the culture and farm life, before cooking and eating a great meal, Stamos was an incredible guide, he made sure we were well taken care of and had full belly's by the end, highly recommend tour to anyone

The hosts greeted us at the parking lot where the drop off location was. Very informative tour and beautiful views. Our tour guide, Samos, was incredibly engaging and funny!! We had an amazing time cooking delicious foods.

The team was so fun and the food was delicious. Perfect for a small group or solo traveling. Absolutely recommend!

This was wonderful, probably the highlight of our trip. Our hostess was warm and created a nice community feel amongst our group. Food was delicious! A unique and special experience :)

The Naxos Perivoli Farm experience and wood-fire cooking class was an authentic, informative, fun, and memorable highlight of our entire Greek isles vacation. Our guide, Stamos, provided warm, friendly hospitality and led a tour that artfully blended local history, culture, and hands-on activities. He was genuine, entertaining, and engaging from the very first minute. Along the walk, we encountered farm animals and hand-selected fresh eggs to use later in our meal. Stamos walked us through the property with genuine pride, sharing stories about the olive groves, the olive oil-making process, Naxian potatoes, local Greek herbs, wine-making, and local honey. It was also wonderful meeting fellow travelers from all around the world in our group. Together, we prepared a spread of traditional Greek dishes using fresh farm ingredients inside a beautiful open-air setting with traditional Greek music playing in the background. We topped off the evening with Greek dancing and traditional plate smashing. Practical notes for future visitors: Who it’s for: A great activity for families, couples, groups of friends, or solo travelers. Physical requirements: This is a genuine, rustic outdoor experience that involves walking up and down sloped hillsides and rocky terrain for 1 to 2 hours. What to wear: Wear comfortable, supportive walking shoes and dress appropriately for the weather, as the entire activity takes place outside. We strongly recommend this as an absolute "must-do" if you are visiting Naxos.

It was so fun!! Would highly recommend to everyone. We got to see what the farm looked like while they gave us fun facts and taught us about the history. Then we started the cooking class part of it. They were so fun and humorous. We ate so much good food. The wine was delicious and never ending. We ended the day doing a traditional dance which I loved. You should do it!!

Our family of 6 had a great experience at the Perivoli Farm. We loved seeing the animals and hearing about the olive oil production. Preparing the food was great as was eating it. Dancing and breaking the plates capped off a wonderful adventure!

This farm cooking experience was a perfect combination of exploring the farm, cooking, and enjoying a delicious meal. Our host, Soto, was super knowledgeable and friendly and made our experience so much fun. The food that we prepared was absolutely delicious, and the wine was flowing. We ended the night with dancing, and it was absolutely worth every penny.

We highly recommend this farm tour and cooking class. It was perfect for my entire family which included a three year-old and 10 month old. Our tour guide Stamos did a wonderful job incorporating both of our kids. Delicious food too. Highly recommend this experience!!

Highly recommend this tour. Stamos was a wonderful guide. From gathering the eggs you would use for your meal to the information about olive trees and the cultivation of the olives. Can’t say enough about it. You don’t want to miss this tour.

They provide you with a warm, friendly and wonderful experience. The tour, cooking, food,dancing and,plate breaking all lead to a wonderful way to spend 4 hours in Naxos. Highly recommend.

This was such a special night! Stamos was so knowledgeable about the island and the land and the food. The tour of the farm was so nice, meeting their sweet donkey was a highlight, as well as eating pomegranates right off of the trees! The class was well done and they made sure that everyone had plenty of things to do. All of the food created was amazing! A night spent in the mountains, surrounded by beauty and laughter…perfect.

The highlight of our trip to date. Soto, our host was full of energy and knowledge. She kept every one engaged and laughing. The tour of the farm, explaining the olive tree and wine making process was wonderful. Then came the food. Everyone participated and had a great time doing it. Delicious meal, dancing and plate smashing finished a fantastic time. Definitely put this on your list.

Best day ever! Loved touring the farm, picking my own eggs, learning about the olive oil production and most importantly, meeting their Donkey, margarita. The cooking class was a blast and there was so much food I had to get up and walk around to make space for more. The night ended with dancing and smashing plates. can’t recommend visiting this family run business more! You won’t regret it.

Everything about the experience was wonderful, all guests seemed to have a wonderful time. Our host Soto was great! Highly recommend this tour.

This was my favorite part of my trip to Greece! From the moment we pulled into the parking lot, we were greeted like family and felt so welcomed throughout the entire day. We loved touring the farm, cooking and eating an incredible amount of delicious food, and ending with dancing and plate smashing. It was such a fun and memorable experience! We would absolutely recommend Perivoli Farm! One small note: there were quite a few yellow jackets around the outdoor lunch area, although they seemed much more interested in the wine than the people! Guests with significant allergies may just want to keep this in mind when preparing for their day at the farm.

Me and my husband really enjoyed this tour. Everyone was so nice and went above and beyond to make us all feel like family. We had a tour of the farm and saw some animals and learned about the olive trees they have. Then we went to the cooking class. It was very interactive and they kept us busy during the class. The food tasted great

We had the most fun with Soto. She was very informative and a lots of fun . Food was delicious, we couldn’t even finish it because was a lot ., she even modified dishes for my husband who has gluten allergies. Extra thank you . Also we even learn some dance . Strongly recommend to everyone.

This was much more than I expected. We did take an hour or so walking around the farm looking at animals and also many trees that had fruit. We then went to a cooking space, there happened to be only 7 of us and we were all women. Tina did a wonderful job and we all chipped in to make a wonderful feast. At the end we danced to Greek Music. This was a 4 hour experience and well worth it.

This was by far the best educational and enjoyable farm to table experience. Stamps was our guide and was so enjoyable to be with!! Very knowledgeable and a lot of fun!!! The food was delicious and the dancing at the end and breaking of the plates was a fabulous way to end the tour. Also the recipees will be sent to us so we could really enjoy making everything as well as having a feast of our self made food!! Highly recommend.

This was an amazing experience. The tour of the farm and information on farming and livestock in Naxos added to our cultural experience. The food was fabulous - the best we had on the Island during our time there - no restaurant we went to could touch the taste of the food on the farm. More food than you could possibly eat.

Amazing experience from the beginning to the end! Well organized , amazing guide, amazing family, and super fun ( don't eat before or plan anything after!)

One of the absolute highlights of our time in Naxos. Soto was an incredible host who brought the island’s food, history, and culture to life from exploring the farm and gathering fresh ingredients to cooking and sharing an amazing meal together. It felt authentic, personal, and genuinely special. If you want to understand what makes Naxos and its food so incredible, I can’t recommend this experience enough.

We unfortunately got rained out of another activity we had planned, so very last minute booked this instead. We could not be happier! They helped arrange transportation from Naxos to the farm for a fee. Tina our guide was so lovely and kind, very knowledgeable about everything around the farm. We learned about the farm itself and some history of Naxos. BEAUTIFUL views from the outdoor kitchen where we met after walking through the farm. Food was absolutely delicious as well, and had fun dancing and breaking plates at the end. HIGHLY recommend, great value!

A wonderful experience from start to finish. We were greeted warmly when we got there and that was extended throughout the whole afternoon. Our guide Soto was so friendly and knowledgeable about every part of the farm. Cooking was so fun and delicious. Dancing and smashing plates was a great way to end the night. Highly recommend for everyone! Thank you!

Farm-to-table experience at its best! This hands-on excursion allowed us to pick our eggs, feed the animals, learn about olive pressing and preparing traditional Greek dishes to enjoy with local farm foods, homemade cherry juice and wine. Our guide Soto was friendly, professional and entertaining! She made the whole experience worthwhile!

Our guide Valentina was funny. She kept the group engaged. The food was so delicious and it was so much fun. I do recommend this to everyone. I would do it again.

We had the time of our lives visiting the farm and cooking with Stamos and the team! This experience exceeded our expectations in every way and we could not recommend it more. These guys seem to love what they do and sharing it with us and we are grateful for the experience. I would do this again in a heartbeat!

So much fun! A warm and welcoming environment to learn local about local farming and cooking. By the end of the meal, all guests felt like family! Soto was an amazing host and instructor!

So much more than cooking! We toured the property, learned about the local agriculture like naxian potatoes and extra virgin olive oil. The cooking and eating was so much fun—we ate the most amazing food together. But our guide Soto was the icing on the cake. So smart, so sweet and continually making sure we were having the best experience possible. Teaching us to cook, to dance and enjoy the moment! My husband and I loved every second with Soto and the family.

My daughter and I had the BEST time at the Perivoli farm experience. Soto was an amazing guide; she was friendly, funny, and engaging. We had a large group and she managed to keep us all on track, while making us laugh. It's a neat experience to see how this family still lives traditionally and sustainably. It's truly a famiy owned business that manages and lives on the farm. The food and homemade wine were delicious, but the best part was the kinship felt throughout the experience. Soto truly made us feel at home. The night ended with plate throwing and dance. The plate throwing was my daughter's favorite part. A special touch was Nikos reached out both before and after our visit via SMS. Before our visit he helped me set up transportation to and from the farm. After our visit, he sent all the recipes and preparation instructions for the things we made. I found the communication to be thoughtful and an added touch to an already great experience. Overall, we had a great time and would not hesitate to recommend this activity to anyone visiting Naxos.

I cannot recommend this cooking class enough. Nikos and Stamos are the most delightful hosts, instructors and all around nice guys. The entire staff was so well orchestrated that the time flew as we easily cooked along with their instructions. Stamos has a way of making everyone feel special. The evening concluded with dancing and music and everyone seemed to have a great time. If you are in the mood to cook, make new friends, laugh and learn, I highly recommend this cooking class and farm tour. We made great tasting food!

Absolutely fantastic food and service. It was nice to see the farm and learn about the local specialities. Soto has just that special personality that really makes tours wonderful! Would highly recommend to travelers.

The Naxos Perivoli cooking class was the highlight of our trip to Naxos….from the farm tour, preparing the food and eating. Thank you Stamos!

A most memorable experience. A great way to cap off our time on Naxos island.

Our cooking class on the farm in Naxos was truly one of the highlights of our entire trip! From the moment we arrived, Soto made us feel incredibly welcome and at home. She was warm, funny, and so knowledgeable—not only about the food and cooking, but also about the farm, its history, and the beautiful land surrounding us. The experience was so much more than just a cooking class. We loved learning about the fresh ingredients, preparing delicious traditional Greek dishes, and, of course, enjoying plenty of amazing food and wine along the way! Everything we made was absolutely delicious, and the entire experience felt authentic, relaxed, and so much fun. The farm itself was beautiful, with gorgeous trees and such a peaceful atmosphere. It was the perfect setting to slow down, enjoy the moment, and experience a special part of Naxos. Soto truly made the experience unforgettable with her hospitality, humor, and knowledge. We had such a wonderful time and would absolutely do this experience again. If you’re visiting Naxos, this is an experience you won’t want to miss!

Very fun tour of a local family farm - cooking followed after the tour along with Greek dancing. What made the experience so enjoyable was our hostess, who was warm, inviting and engaged! Highly recommend

Thank you Nikko for a wonderful experience! The food was outstanding . The welcoming hospitality of your family was refreshing . The music abd dancing was a memorable finishing touch ! God bless your farm and your business.

We loved our host. He was fun, involved everyone and had lots of energy & enthusiasm. We toured the farm, made some of our lunch and enjoyed the company of interesting people. The food was delicious, plentiful and authentic Greek dishes like zucchini fritters, Naxian fries, Greek salad, saganaki cheese with Greek honey and more... The dancing was a lot of fun and having the kids hand out plates was sweet. We all loved the whole experience ❤️
