Greek night on Monday fully recommended

We decided to book for the Monday night Greek evening and to be honest we were astounded by the endless amount of food presented as a taster of genuinely beautiful Greek cooking. The waiting staff worked really hard to get every course out to the guests as soon as possible. Local wine by the carafe was included but being non alcoholics we stuck to soft drinks. We lost count of how many courses came out but tried everything and the host Maria greeted everyone and insisted on us asking for seconds if we wanted it. There were traditional Greek musicians accompanying the excellent cuisine and we left completely stuffed! It was busy so I would suggest booking in advance and please respect the host and other guests and arrive on time! Some guests arrived between 15 and 45 minutes late. Whilst Maria greeted them in her imitable friendly Greek fashion this did put pressure on the staff trying to remember where each table was at during the many courses.

Fantastic Family Cooking experience!

This was such a highlight of our trip and even the teenagers loved it! The team at Anezina are so welcoming, kind and amazing mentor-cooks! We made 6 dishes and all were delicious. They have everything prepped for you to then further assemble, mix or cook. Then, as food is cooking we enjoyed a relaxing time with wine provided with other participants and then had a delicious meal we made! BEST Moussaka, Dolmadas, and orange cake! They also send us 60 additional recipes to make at home. What a treat. :) I would HIGHLY recommend this. Nice way to break up a beach vacation too.

Beautiful & friendly

We stayed here with RCI, the rooms were stunning. My only negative was storage to put clothes, some draws or shelves would have been helpful. Otherwise everything was just right. The owner was very helpful, friendly and nothing was Too much trouble. There is a supermarket just around the corner for the basics. We booked for the iconic greek night and had a fabulous 12 course meal and free drinks .. The location is just right, not for from the beaches. We hired a car from the airport which was perfect for visiting the different villages on the island. I would recommend this place but would come a little later maybe end May/June when more Is open!

The BEST cooking class

My husband and I took the cooking class led by Maria and her staff and it was the highlight of our trip to Paros. The restaurant was clean, the staff was friendly and helpful, and we had so much fun making many authentic Greek recipes that Maria was kind enough to share with us afterwards. A big bonus is they set up transportation so we were picked up from our hotel before the class and brought back afterwards. Cannot recommend the experience enough!

Cooking Lesson Not To Be Missed!

The best part of any holiday is to immerse you've into the local and what better way than to take a cooking lesson. I had done some research and came across Anezina Resturant and Maria. My best friend and I decided to enrol in the lesson and it was the highlight of our trip to Greece. Lucky for us it was just us two on the lesson and we were shown by Maria and her team to make 6 tasty Greek dishes. It was very C-19 safe and the environment was super clean. We were both rolling out of the restaurant after as we ate everything we made :) This is a must for your trip!! can't wait to recreate all the recipes I learnt.

We got lost and found this cute restaurant

We were trying to go to the golden beach and got a bit lost, found this restaurant decided to go there and it was really good. Props to Christina (hope I'm not misspelling your name) our waitress, we had such a warm welcome! I asked about recommendation for beaches and she brought a map put it flat on a big empty table beside us and explain every spot she thought was the best. the food was really great but I mostly remember my chat with her as she was the sweetest ! She got us dessert on the house because they do cooking lesson and they made traditional cake earlier with a group. Thank you again Christina :) Alice, the blue eyed french girl ;)

What a fun event! We attended with our two adult daughters (20&22) and we all had a great time. It was well run, very smooth transitioning from one recipe to the next. The food was flavorful and we most definitely learned a few new tricks and recipes. At one point the outdoor kitchen was filled with the smells of things cooking, we were all drinking wine and dancing around the kitchen.

Wow. Where to start with this experience? BOOK IT RIGHT NOW! Absolute highlight of our trip to Paros. To be honest, we were staying in Parikia and once we realized the experience was in Drios, on the opposite end of the island, we were like, what did we get ourselves into? But, we managed to take the bus to Drios which was a gorgeous and scenic ride and this cooking class is 100% worth it. We met some new friends and learned to cook / bake some INCREDIBLE recipes. Plus they send you a complete guide to everything you make + so much more. A priceless experience beyond my expectations. Yeah. Just book it and take the bus to Drios. Anezina Village is steps from the Drios bus stop. We utterly enjoyed ourselves and made some delicious food. Excited for you to experience this!

What a delightful experience! A perfect evening of conversation and cuisine. We each took part in prepping different dishes and had a very hands on role in everything from chopping herbs, fileting fish, frying meatballs, and baking orange cake. The team was extremely friendly and courteous. And the food was delicious! Best food of our whole trip. The wine flowed all evening and we made great friends. We all got to take home the recipes and I can’t wait to make these dishes at home.

This is a not to miss experience! The host Maria and all the chefs we learned from were fantastic. The food they helped us make was delicious and the outdoor kitchen setting was lovely and breezy! We enjoyed the other guests tremendously and especially sharing the meal at the end. What a wonderful experience!

The class was so much fun and everyone was so hospitable. One of the most memorable experiences on this trip - nothing like dancing to Greek music with a bunch of strangers and sharing a meal we cooked together

We each contributed to a wonderful traditional meal. We prepped, explained each cooking step, danced, had aperifs, and shared stories. Was a very hot day, but kitchen was in the shade. Everyone was lovely and a wealth of knowledge. Eating what we all put work into was rewarding and delicious! Highly recommend!

The ABSOLUTE best things you can do on the island! You uave to eat so why not have a hands on experience where you can learn to cook and enjoy Greek family recipes. the class and experience was beyond great. I had the best time. The team was so helpful and engaging and were sure to keep everyone involved. They provided relevant stories, shared culture, and events. The atmosphere, was perfect and the food was amazing. I dont know when I am coming back, but definetly doing this class again.

This is a must-do experience if you want an intro to the art of Greek cooking or just a really fun day + delicious meal. Greek white wine was flowing throughout the cooking process, Greek dancing after dishes went in the oven, and our bellies were full by the six-course meal we cooked. The outdoor location was also beautiful—highly recommend going to Faragas beach before or after. Perfect for beginner or experienced home cooks alike. Overall one of the highlights from our trip.

Maria’s cooking class was the highlight of our trip to Greece! We had such a lovely time in her beautiful restaurant. We cooked so many dishes which were all delicious and ones we can cook at home. She kept wine flowing throughout the afternoon and even got to learn a Greek dance!

Did this tour with my girlfriend. It was a super fun time and got to meet new people while cooking multiple different items. The host was super friendly and knowledgeable. All the food tasted amazing and definitely a fun night out!

This experience was overall positive. Some of the food was pretty good (I’m excited to remake it at home) and it was enjoyable to get to meet other travelers . There’s more than enough food to go around as well as wine and the serving staff is all very pleasant, some of the best service I’ve had in Greece. However, I was in a group of 10 which I think was too big. Each person got to do little cooking and I feel the recipes chosen were mostly whatever would be easiest for a big group. Although Maria kind of gives her background/story in her Airbnb description there’s no storytelling or explanations during the cooking only instructions on how to cook. I think I would still do this experience again but would try to book for a group of 6 maximum for a more intimate setting where we can be unrushed and ask questions. Alternatively, if you have a big group and want to book and entire session for yourself you might enjoy this.

Can’t recommend this cooking class enough! It was truly the highlight of our entire Greece trip! Maria was kind, patient, and engaging. Her whole staff was very helpful and thoughtful as well. Definitely a must if you’re visiting Paros!Her restaurant is easily accessible via bus if you aren’t staying in the area. She prepared a menu that catered to our dietary restrictions.
