Feel like family while learning to cook a delicious Greek meal together.
We felt like family in Ozlem’s new home in a tiny village near Georgioupoli, Crete. It felt like the whole village was ready to help us find her lovely place. Ozlem is a gifted language instructor and has worked as an interpreter so communication was no problem. So much fun pitching in and helping prepare a delicious meal that she checked in advance with us as to our likes and dislikes. It was really special visiting together while we waited for the dishes to simmer and bake. The time in a tradi...더 읽기

He took the time to walk around and to visit the village since c...더 읽기

A feast in the making
A truly delightful and delicious experience. If we had stayed just a few more hours, we would have been part of the family. Ozlem welcomed us warmly into her kitchen and after enjoying some Greek coffee, she set us to work. After cleaning, peeling, slicing, boiling, and sautéing we shared a feast of Cretan food. We enjoyed various greens mixed with potatoes and tomatoes, staka, sagnaki, sardines, shrimps and some homemade wine. We were sated.
Roustika is about a 35 minute drive on a windy ro...더 읽기

Superb Cooking and Lunch Experience
Warm and engaging, cooking and lunch with Ozlem is not to be missed!! I booked this class for my last day on the island of Crete, and requested dishes centered around fish and seafood and Ozlem created a fabulous menu including Seabream cooked in salt, squid with Cretan greens, and shrimp-stuffed calamari. Everything was incredibly delicious!! Ozlem and I had fabulous conversations about everything from the food we were cooking to the history of cooking and even just talking about books. It was ...더 읽기
