Highlights
Spend a day of immersion in local food traditions, on a hilltop with breathtaking views of the sea and the fertile farmland beneath. Cook your own meal and taste the flavors you created, together. At a charming family-run dairy, you will meet the farmers who will take a break from cultivating their garden and raising their animals with care, to show you how to prepare a signature Greek recipe, using fresh ingredients from their farm. Get some hands-on local experience as your hosts guide you through the making of the iconic summer dish called “gemista”. While waiting for your meal to cook, your hosts will share the secrets of local cheesemaking methods, teaching you how to make an age-old cheese recipe, called “arseniko”. The experience concludes with a relaxed feast, savoring the authentic tastes of Naxos and enjoying the warmth of local hospitality.

About Naxos
Naxos, the largest of the Cyclades, mixes long sandy beaches, mountain villages, marble quarries and a Venetian old town.
Naxos Town, the island's capital, is a whitewashed port with a Venetian castle on the hill above and narrow lanes winding through its centre. Out on the harbour islet stands the Portara, a huge marble doorway, all that remains of an unfinished temple of Apollo begun in the sixth century BC. The island is greener than most of its neighbours, with fertile valleys, springs and the Cyclades' highest peak, Mount Zas.
