We spent a wonderful afternoon with Anna. We picked fresh vegetables and herbs from her family's garden and learned traditional Naxian recipes that we can recreate at home. The whole afternoon was enjoyable and educational. While our food was cooking, we took a lovely shaded walk along the river....

The walk and the stories from Greek mythology were a treat!If you do one thing on Naxos, take this cooking class.

If you do one thing on Naxos, take this cooking class. We visited Anna and her family during our recent trip and it was outstanding, fun, educational and delicious. The setting is ideal in a verdant valley just about 20 minutes from Naxos Town. Anna was such a warm and wonderful host and made us feel like family. We were a party of six with our college-aged kids and their friends. They raved about it! In fact, my daughter would like to go live and work on the farm now. :)My husband and I went to the cooking class at Basiliko and had a wonderful time. Anna and her family are so welcoming.

My husband and I went to the cooking class at Basiliko and had a wonderful time. Anna and her family are so welcoming. We started by walking through the farm and picking fresh produce for our meal. We prepared all the food while enjoying local orange wine then went on a lovely walk along the river while Anna and her brother regaled us with stories and the history of the island. Our meal was fantastic but spending time with Anna and her mother was a true treat. We had an impromptu dancing lesson while enjoying some local citron with honey. This was by far our favorite experience in Greece and we can’t wait to come back!We had a fabulous time! Anna was an amazing host. She took is to her garden and showed us what vegetables to pick. She taught us about the different trees in the Orchard, and how they use the entire grape plant - stem, leaves and fruit. She guided us as we prepared our dinner of stuffed veg...
We had a fabulous time! Anna was an amazing host. She took is to her garden and showed us what vegetables to pick. She taught us about the different trees in the Orchard, and how they use the entire grape plant - stem, leaves and fruit. She guided us as we prepared our dinner of stuffed vegetables and then took us on a lovely walking tour of her city while it baked. The dinner was delicious and Anna was delightful! I would definitely recommend this cooking class and would love to come back and learn another dish!!It was an amazing experience and we had fun time learning to cook Greek food. Anna did a great job explaining the local history and provided lot of insights into the local food culture. I would recommend this experience to anyone visiting Naxos.
