VERIFIED BOOKING
October 6, 2026
This was one of the highlights of our trip to Naxos. The shared traditional cooking lesson in the village of Galini was everything we hoped for: authentic, relaxed, and full of warmth.
We started with a tasting of local pickles, fruit and cheese, which was a lovely welcome. Then we rolled up our sleeves to prepare our meal: stuffed peppers, tomatoes and aubergine, tzatziki, and courgette and feta fritters.
While everything cooked, we were taken on a tour of the farm where all of the vegetables were grown. It's a massive farm producing potatoes, figs, olives, jalapeños, pumpkins, spinach, cabbage, tomatoes, pomegranates, grapes, different types of oranges, and herbs like chives, mint and basil. The list was endless! Seeing exactly where our food came from made the whole experience even more special.
When we got back, the fritters were fried fresh and the stuffed vegetables were ready. As an extra treat, we were also served a Greek salad and a delicious orange cake for dessert. The dishes were simple, but honestly so, so tasty. I'm convinced it's down to how fresh everything was, straight from the farm to the table.
Niko and the team were fantastic. They were friendly, patient and so welcoming, and they made us feel like we were cooking in a family kitchen rather than taking a class. The setting for dinner was beautiful, and sitting down together to enjoy what we'd made was the perfect end to the evening.
If you want real Naxian food and hospitality, book this. We left full, happy, and determined to recreate it all at home. Thank you Niko and team!
