Highlights
Stroll down the local neighborhoods of Chora, Naxos main town, and learn about local life. In the company of your guide, you’ll make the rounds of the local produce market the way the Naxos people do. Pick and choose your own local, fresh, seasonal produce, bursting with fragrances, colors, and flavor. You’ll be putting your vegetables to good use during the cooking course that will follow. Your route will take you to the cobblestone maze-like alleys of the Chora castle. Visit local shops and sample different kinds of cheeses and liqueurs. Your walk will end at a small traditional taverna where you’ll meet our talented chef. She will show you step by step, how to make traditional appetizers and the renowned Greek salad. Next, comes the greatest part of the tour. We’ll all be sitting down to share the dishes you made yourself, along with another Greek traditional dish prepared by our chef. We’ll raise our glasses, toast each other, and enjoy a day spent in enjoying and experiencing.

5Loved the food

5Informative, fun tour!!
Best part of visiting Naxos was this tour! As the first timer to the island into Greece. David was an absolutely wonderful guide! I knew very little about the island starting out and this tour made me want to come back and stay longer. Wonderful way to learn about the island, history and culture. An experience I highly recommend!!

5Don’t miss this experience
This is an outstanding experience. Nikos, our guide took us around the city of Naxos explaining the history, the daily life on Naxos and answering our many questions. We learned about the cheeses made on the Island and got to taste several kinds. The day ended at a traditional Taverna making 4 different dishes with the elderly owner Mimosa and her family. We then got to eat what we made and finished the tour tasting the traditional liquor of Naxos. This was honestly the best cooking class I have ever taken. Nikos went above and beyond our expectations and never rushed us to the point that our tour went two hours over schedule. This is a must do experience for Naxos!!
5Great Tour with Guide Hector
Amazing tour and fabulous guide! Our family of 4 with 2 teen girls really enjoyed our day exploring Naxos with our guide Hector. Hector was laid back and super approachable and is a wealth of knowledge! He provided a lot of info without overwhelming us and also snapped some pics throughout the day that were later shared with us. The cooking class was a lot of fun and the end results were delicious! The Greek “grandmother” who led the class was very kind. The tour group provides you with the recipes of the dishes prepared as well as a few Greek traditional recipes. I communicated with Anastasia via email in the main office to ensure my daughter’s food allergies could be accommodated and she was so helpful in assuring us that my daughter could fully participate. If you book, I’d strongly suggest to request Hector. He was an excellent guide.

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.
