Description - What to expect

Your Naxos cooking class starts at a family-owned farm located near the village of Melanes. When you arrive take the opportunity to see and interact with the farm animals, including chickens, rabbits, pigs, peacocks, and more. You will also have the opportunity to engage in collecting the day's freshly laid eggs.

Following that, a visit to the olive groves will allow you to learn about the methods employed to cultivate healthy trees and produce top-quality olive oil. Then, walk through potato fields and learn about the renowned Naxian potato. End your farm tour by sampling delicious seasonal fruits.

Next on your Naxos cooking class visit the vineyard and the vegetable garden, to collect the seasonal ingredients for your cooking class. Follow your host and learn how to prepare and cook traditional Naxian recipes over a wood fire.
