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 an experienced chef will guide us.

We will learn the basic guidelines for preparing some of the island's fundamental dishes. We'll put on our aprons, familiarize ourselves with the organic products, and begin cooking.

Dishes such as ntako, crumbled tomatoes on homemade bread, traditional tzatziki, and gemistas, vegetables stuffed with rice and herbs, will be included. After cooking, we'll sit down to taste a main dish and a dessert prepared by the cook, accompanied by the typical raki.

Finally, we'll return to the minibus at 3 pm for the trip back to Rethymno.
