The experience is situated in an area known as “Flerio”, adjacent to the village of Melanes. Nestled beside the iconic Kouros of Melanes statue and blessed by ancient springs that nourish our flourishing garden, our cooking lessons stand as the epitome of gastronomic indulgence. Our culinary odyssey begins with a celebration of local recipes and the freshest ingredients plucked straight from our bountiful garden. Uncover traditional cooking methods and become skilled in preparing the most cherished Greek recipes. The crackle of the fire and the scent of local ingredients combine to create an unforgettable sensory “empeiria” (experience). As your creations simmer to perfection, take a leisurely tour to the nearby Kouros of Melanes statue. Following a delightful lunch with local wine, immerse yourself in the authentic sounds of Naxian culture with live traditional music featuring the enchanting melodies of the violin and lute. Join us, as we guide you through the rhythmic steps of local dances, allowing you to immerse yourself in the heart and soul of the island's traditions. The experience is not wheelchair accessible as there is 3 min easy hiking downhill to reach the farm.

Lovely Estia

Warm family, very helpful with my (weird) allergy, beautiful space, and fun cooking class! It was a great experience, and you also get to see one of the kouros statues and a small church while your food is baking. Highly recommend!

The highlight of our trip to Naxos

What an incredible experience this was. My husband and I were greeted by the host and her father-in-law, and they made our experience with our group members so memorable. We learned so much about the culture of Naxos, and it was so fun to help make our stuffed peppers, zucchini fritters, tzatziki sauce, and cheese pies. The food was delicious, the tour to the Kouros was so interesting, and the family was so warm and inviting. The music and dancing added a special end to the experience. I cannot ...read more

Highlight of my Greece Trip

One of the best experiences you will have in Naxos. The cooking experience and listening to traditional music from the family + dancing was unreal. The highlight was the family. They are some of the most welcoming and genuine people you will ever meet. An experience I’ll never forget! If I could rate it 6 stars would.

Do it!

This is a must and should not be missed. The family was especially kind and welcoming, the grounds beautiful, and a delicious meal we learned to prepare. My friend who was hesitant about a cooking class said it was the most enjoyable part of Greece she has had.

Response from ViatorSeptember 11, 2026

Dear Holly, It is truly wonderful to hear that even your hesitant friend ended up loving the experience so much! Changing someone's mind and making them feel at home is the biggest compliment we could ask for. Thank you for your very kind words about our family, the meal we shared, and our grounds here at Flerio. We absolutely loved hosting you both. We hope the rest of your time in Greece is just as enjoyable, and you will always have a place at our table.
