Menu & tasting

Set in Mary’s stunning family-owned villa by the sea, this experience has been delighting guests for many years. Mary is passionate about sharing her Cretan cuisine and culinary traditions with guests from around the world. Upon arrival, you’ll see Mary’s lush garden and take in panoramic views of the expansive sea and rugged cliffs from the terrace — the perfect spot to enjoy your meal after the cooking class. During your 2-hour cooking class, you’ll learn to prepare authentic Cretan dishes using fresh, seasonal ingredients. The class can be either a demonstration or hands-on, so be sure to share your preference with Mary. You’ll cook a first course and a main dish — classic specialties like ofto lamb or fresh seafood, pies made with local wild herbs, and roasted vegetables or a crisp salad. After cooking, savor the meal you helped create alongside Mary while enjoying a breathtaking sunset if you choose the evening experience. The price includes alcohol, and your host will offer a choice of white or red wine, tsikoudia-raki (a local spirit), as well as herbal tea or fresh juice.
