A self-taught cook, Mary, is a strong promoter of Cretan cuisine, one of the healthiest and richest cuisines in the world.

In Mary's opinion, the secret to Cretan cuisine is simple recipes, with high quality local products.

Private cooking class with your host Mary
Hotel pickup and drop-off
Set in Mary’s stunning family-owned villa by the sea, this experience has been delighting guests for many years. Mary is passionate about sharing her Cretan cuisine and culinary traditions with guests from around the world. Upon arrival, you’ll see Mary’s lush garden and take in panoramic views of the expansive sea and rugged cliffs from the terrace — the perfect spot to enjoy your meal after the cooking class. During your 2-hour cooking class, you’ll learn to prepare authentic Cretan dishes using fresh, seasonal ingredients. The class can be either a demonstration or hands-on, so be sure to share your preference with Mary. You’ll cook a first course and a main dish — classic specialties like ofto lamb or fresh seafood, pies made with local wild herbs, and roasted vegetables or a crisp salad. After cooking, savor the meal you helped create alongside Mary while enjoying a breathtaking sunset if you choose the evening experience. The price includes alcohol, and your host will offer a choice of white or red wine, tsikoudia-raki (a local spirit), as well as herbal tea or fresh juice.

A wonderful experience, would do this again.

Mary was very warm and welcoming. She has an extensive knowledge of Cretan cooking, and nutritional science. She gave a very comprehensive and interesting history of Cretan cuisine. She modified the cooking class to meet my pescatarian needs. The food was delicious, with many of the ingredients sourced from her property, and therefore very fresh. I was the only attendant for this class, so it was wonderful having a one-on-one experience. Her home is wonderful, with a very organic design, in ...daha fazla oku

One of the best local experiences anyone could ever ask for! Mary is a one of kind amazing person!

Our afternoon with Mary was far beyond anything we expected — truly one of the highlights of our entire trip. Mary is a very special person: kind, genuine, and a wonderful host. From the moment she contacted us before the class, she made sure we had all the details we needed to find her home and feel comfortable. Her house itself is beautiful — perched on a scenic cliffside with amazing views — and immediately felt warm and welcoming. She greeted us outside with a big smile, and as my mother sa...daha fazla oku

Mary felt like family

Mary is not only the best cook, but an amazing human. The night truly felt like we were spending time with an old friend / family. We had great conversations and even better food. Not to mention, her farmhouse is beautiful and on the water!

A culinary delight

The cooking experience with Mary was fantastic, she was an excellent host and the food was delicious. We would particularly recommend the evening experience as the view and sunset from the terrace was spectacular. Mary was very passionate about Cretan cooking but she was also very knowledgeable about Cretan history and culture. We could have sat and chatted with her over a glass of Raki for hours!!

Dear guest, Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a heartwarming review! We're thrilled to hear you had such a memorable experience with Mary. She truly embodies the heart and soul of Cretan hospitality, and it’s lovely to know her passion for local cuisine, history, and culture shone through. We couldn’t agree more, the evening views from her terrace are magical, and sharing raki with her makes it even more special! We hope you’ll be back to enjoy more Cretan flavors and stories soon.
