Menu & tasting
Bring the authentic heart of Crete to your villa with a private culinary journey. This interactive experience lets you learn the secrets of Cretan gastronomy directly from an expert chef. Discover how to craft the famous Chania Boureki (zucchini and potato pie) and master the preparation of Lamb with Stamnagathi, a local wild green known for its unique flavor and health benefits. After the demonstration, enjoy your lunch or dinner service. Your menu features a traditional Cretan salad with soft local cheese, herb-infused Dolma, and slow-cooked lamb. For dessert, indulge in a warm Sfakia Pie drizzled with honey. We provide a completely stress-free service: from premium grocery shopping and elegant table setting to a spotless kitchen cleanup. We leave your villa exactly as we found it, so you can focus entirely on the true flavors of Crete.
