Don’t miss this excursion from Nafplio

This was one of the highlights on our trip! Mira is a wonderful guide and very knowledgeable on the region and small village. We learned to cook a traditional Greek meal, share stories and enjoy our lunch. The ladies of the village showed much hospitality and shared their cooking skills with us. This tour takes place in a mountain village- about 45 minutes from Nafplio. It was well worth the beautiful drive for our experience. Next time I am in Greece I will look into more tours with this compa...read more

A taste of Greek village life so authentic, you'll believe you have a Greek grandmother

GrecoPaths didn't take us to Greece — they took us into it. This is the kind of experience that reminds you why you travel in the first place. Mira, our guide, brought us to Kaira, Greece. We were staying in Nafplio and given a Maps link to this village. We plugged it in and found ourselves in a tucked-away village that feels genuinely untouched by the tourist trail. The place carries a quiet magic — partly the scenery, partly the pace of life, but largely (we'd learn) the water. Kaira sits on...read more

Dearest Lindsay, Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for this wonderful 5-star review! 🌟 It truly warms our hearts to read how deeply you connected with Kaira, the natural spring, the cooking lessons, and especially the unforgettable moment with the grandmother in her home. Knowing that you’re still making tzatziki at home with your kids makes us smile every time. This is exactly the kind of authentic, off-the-beaten-path experience we strive to offer. Thank you for letting us be part of your family’s Greek adventure and for sharing your story so beautifully. We hope our paths cross again soon! Warm regards, Stavroula GrecoPaths Team

A very good taste of mountain village life in the Peloponnese!

Our 3-generation family of three — 85 year-old, 60-year-old, 25-year old—had a great time at this cooking class in a small mountain village. If you’re an experienced cook don’t expect to learn anything new, but that won’t stop you from having fun while making good dishes with women who have been cooking them all their lives. Our guide Mira was truly top-notch and helped ensure a top-notch experience for all of us.

An amazing adventure!

Getting to meet some wonderful people in a secluded Greek village, had been one of the best trips that we could have ever chosen! We learnt how to cook the greek way and everyone was amazingly fun, kind and wonderful at the same time. What an experience, a 1000% recommend it!!!

Fabulous cooking class and trip to the mountain village!

Wonderful day with guide Mira and the rest of the GrecoPaths group! We (my family) were driven by Mira up to a mountain village and enjoyed meeting other members of the GrecoPaths staff, including Stavroula. We spent a little time with them, and then the first chef instructed us on making stuffed vegetables and tzatziki in the kitchen of a small taverna. Atfer that, we walked over to a local woman's home where she and her sister helped us make a cheese tiropita. We learned about using local ...read more
