The walk through the village with our glasses of wine was just the best. Cooking Gemista and having the table set up like a big traditional family get together was so touching. The day closed with some Greek dancing along with plate smashing. Such a heart-warming experience and thoroughly loved every minute. Simply a must do when visiting Naxos 😊”

We were fortunate enough to have Spyro as our teacher, our chef and our dining companion. Spyro’s knowledge of the ingredients and techniques along with his ability to explain and teach are what make…”
