This is a must for everyone who enjoys the Cretean cuisine!

The experience that made out holiday <3 Learning to prepare traditional Cretean dishes and learning about the life on the olive farm was an incredible experience for us. The warm and welcoming family hosted a 10/10 afternoon and eavning for us. Food was amazingly tasty and the views from the farm were beyond beautiful. This is a must for everyone who enjoys the Cretean cuisine!

Cretan Traditional Cooking in Metochi farm!

The perfect cooking lesson in beautiful farm near Kissamos. Enjoyable lesson by Eleni and her mother Chrisoula, you learn to cook Cretan traditional food and finally eat a delicious dinner - which you made yourself. Good combination about cookung and cretan lifestyle. This is not a "once in lifetime"-thing. You need to go there again!
