Cretan Cooking Class

We'll pick you up at your hotel in Rethymno at 10 am and travel to the small town of Nippos.

Upon arrival, we'll take a short walk through the centre of the village to learn about the history and peculiarities of Cretan cuisine. Then we'll start to prepare your delicious dishes in a traditional tavern where the chef will guide us.

We will learn the basic guidelines for preparing some of the island's fundamental dishes. We will use organic products during the cooking.

Dishes such as ntako, crumbled tomatoes on homemade bread, the traditional tzatziki, and gemistas, vegetables stuffed with rice and herbs, will be some of the recipes that we'll take home after this cooking class.

Once we finish, we'll taste a main dish and a dessert prepared by the cook while enjoying the incomparable raki, the most typical liquor of Crete.

Finally, we'll return to the minibus that will take us back to Rethymno, arriving at 3 pm.
