The Highlight of Our Crete Trip!

5.00This cooking class at Veerna's kitchen was the highlight of our time on Crete. I highly recommend doing this cooking class. Veerna and her brother were so friendly and welcoming. We went in early November just as olive harvest was starting and it was a small group of 4 people at the class. The location and space is beautiful, tucked away and a little outside of the town of Chania. It turned out that we were staying at an Airbnb just 10 minutes walking from the kitchen. The food and drinks, along with the company were absolutely wonderful.
Authentic and fun cooking class

5.00Veernas cooking class was amazing. It was so cool to be welcomed into their home like we were family and learn the greek style of cooking. They were all so nice and taught us about their culture for hours. It was my wife and I'd favorite part of our honeymoon by far! The food was to die for and I would go back to that class every week if we could! Thank you so much guys!!!
Terrific
