5.00What an amazing day! Our favorite adventure on this trip! We learned about farming and the area from Nick. We collected eggs and walked the property. Then we made our meal dicing, slicing and grating the vegetables. The meal was cooked in a wood fire oven and stovetop. Delicious! We shared a table and met interesting people, sharing travel stories. Nick and his family were amazing hosts and made us all feel very welcome. Make sure you don’t miss this when you visit Naxos!
A one of a kind Greek experience!

5.00Nikos was a welcoming and charming host. Our adventure started with a tour of the farm, including learning fascinating information about their animals, olive trees, and more. The real fun started when we learned how to cook several traditional Naxian recipes. The cooking/dining table overlooks stunning views, as Nikos friendly family helps cook and serve. The icing on the cake is enjoying the delicious food at the end. We highly recommend this unforgettable experience!
