Experience the quieter side of Santorini

5.00This activity one of the best we’ve tried in all of our travels. Our guide took us for an easy hike to an out of the way location, one without any line ups. We sat on a beautiful secluded beach area and chatted before heading to our cooking lesson where we were instructed on how to make dolmades, Greek salad, tzatziki, and tomato fritters. After cooking our meal, we dined on the “fruits of our labours” and a few other yummy additions. It was a fabulous excursion which gave us the opportunity to see a quieter part of Santorini. As our guide said, it was the experience of a traveller rather than a tourist… and it was lovely.
Amazing cooking experience

5.00Sofia was an excellent guide & my husband and I truly enjoyed this experience. She was very knowledgeable...Trekking Hellas picked us up right by our Airbnb and made this a very easy, convenient, & fun experience. The highlights were meeting Mrs. Anna & her husband who operate The Good Heart restaurant & seeing them press wine & learn about traditional Greek cuisine. Sofia was a great translator- request her!!

5.00The guides were absolutely wonderful and knowledgeable. The hike was easy and the refreshing swim at the end was simply perfect. Then we went to cook and it was so much fun, easy delicious dishes and my new favorite - tomato fritters. I can’t wait to cook that at home. Afterwards sharing a meal with the guides and other guests was fun and relaxed and the food served was absolutely delicious. We had a really wonderful time.
Amazing experiance from start to the end

5.00The most amazing day!! Our guide was so amazing: Greek, unique, full of knowledge and fun. I could not recommend this tour more highly. The hike was so easy, with plenty of culture and scenery thrown in. The cooking with Miss Ana was priceless; she was the most welcoming lady even with only being able to speak Greek, I have never been so ful (it feels like you’ve eaten Christmas lunch kinda full). I will be taking these recipes home and wowing the BBQ crowds. If you want a personalised tour, with swimming in the ocean, hiking and an authentic Greek cooking experience then this is the tour for you. Thank you so much to our guide, she was amazing!!
A wonderful experience!

5.00It was a wonderful experience and highly recommended! Hike is what we would call moderate vs light. The food was delicious!

5.00My family of 7 loved this experience with Sebastian! It was my personal highlight of our trip to Greece. The hike was informative and beautiful to learn about Santorini agriculture and the beach shack and swim in the ocean were so refreshing after the hike! I recommend close-toed shoes for the hike and a change of clothes for the swimming. The best part was the cooking class, the instructor was authentic and delightful and the food was incredible. Sebastian was a wonderful guide, very enthusiastic and passionate!
Authentic and Tasty!

5.00Absolutely wonderful! Pick up was so easy, our guide Seb was a ton of fun to hang out with, the hike was beautiful and Seb was so engaging during it. We loved the swim in the Sea before cooking class. And the cooking class was so authentic and tasty with incredible views! I would 100% recommend!
